A potent, important revelation

By missmfa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The paint is peeling off the walls, Spilling onto the floor. Their patience is running out, Trying to catch up with mine Which embarked on a cross-country race Several years ago. The walls are talking a mile a minute, Spilling out their guts, Onto the floor, Making it slippery, Egg-shell slippery. I can't walk under these conditions anymore! The home is turning into a house, Spilling its warmth Onto the cold, hard floor. Creating in me a chemical reaction As I have A potent, important revelation: It's time to move out.
