Sanity is a scurring mouse

Old songs drone and I'm an abandoned house

Empty and collapsing in on myself

I wish you would stop coming to my door, peering through my windows

Why don't you make yourself useful and burn me down?

The Poet's House In Flames?

They strike

this match, see.

Then they

aim for gasoline,

got it. Trying

To burn down

a metaphor,

you know,

may catch on

to an actual

sleeve and end

in self-immolation.
