The 365 Project Pt. II

we pulled doors off
and put them back up again
so many leaning houses
yearning to fall over

we sit inside them all
waiting for them to collapse
and fill them up with fish
and hungry cats

the refuge for unwanted guests
a welcome long overstayed
send them all into the desert
and walk away

seasons change on
cardboard slides placed behind
plastic horses who smile
in plastic haybale pens

pull everything off
the top of rickety wardrobes
everything is shaking
its way to the ground

the refuge for unwanted guests
a welcome long overstayed
send them all into the desert
and walk away
