HOMEMAKER

listen to that

cool

cool

water run

never been good at being alone

say “hello holy father.

where’s your daughter?

she could make this house a home.”

you got a

new

new

closet

never been good at savin’ cash.

chrome on the faucet

and you bossed it.

i’ve never seen you on the counter before.

listen to that

cold

cold

winter blow

never had time for absolutes.

new steam shower

for the powder.

his-and-hеr sinks

but

just

for

you.

you got a brand-new bedroom.

a clean sеt of sheets I’ve never seen.

thread count’s pricey,

for your wifey.

i know she don’t make the bed like me.

never seen a Persian rug look so homely

never heard a sadder voice

than when you phone me.

are you lonely?

you said it’s time for some renovations.

time for conversation.

but I ripped houses

bigger than you before.

enjoy the silence

in your kitchen.

been watering all these plants

made of plastic

and you think they’ll grow.

homemaker.

shiny new things but they’re all for show.
