Moderna Taverna
It is beautiful
Timber walls
pressed ceilings
Tudor in it's persona
Who knew a house
had so much
to offer
It's playful
(the puppy outside)
eats the newspaper
before
the delivery guy
even drops it
Yaps like a child
Howls to the wind
between
sunrise and sunset
It's happy
The life
in the photograph
of that home
[The world it represents]
Stop!
Is it?
Is it a life?
Having green grass that's
never walked on
Trees never
invited to
picnic
A puppy
who meets you for the
first time
in the summer holiday
Is 2 hours of
morning traffic
what we signed up for?
Is the flourescent
lit
office
the choice
of value?
The sick feeling
in the throat
that makes
breathing
unbearable
after the sherrif
delivers court judgment?
Is it?
Is it a life?
Our self created chaos
that we feed to
the disasters
we've
made ourselves
the road
we've taken?
Complete
with the right label
right phone
right car
right house
right take out
right credit card
A puppy
and pretty
home
So that we smile
a plastic life
in the
photograph?
