home owner

the neighbors mow my grass and weed my roses

like i am some neighborhood liability



someday i would love to be that famous writer

that drinks too much, hiding in his house

riding his bike away and back

writing the romance of your charms



that famous guy, with the old truck

with you, who is willing to talk to anyone

who can't explain me, but has given up trying



that guy that has a dream floating around him

...a beautiful woman that the neighbors respect and console

because i don't scrape the paint from the overhang

or does much more than water the pants

that someone else has deemed necessary



and wonders why you are there, there where i am



but most of all they wonder why

i am with that beautiful woman, who is you
