if my body were a house
it'd be an abnormally large one,
with critters in the gutters and
bugs in the walls.
if my body were a house
it'd have graffiti on it's exterior
but far bigger cracks on the inside,
with broken railings and collapsed stairs.
if my body were a house
it'd be locked twenty-four-seven with
dead grass and empty trees protecting it.
if my body were a house
it'd be lonely with no visitors or guests,
the chipped paint would scare anyone off.
if my body were a house
it'd have neighbors of such great beauty and kindness,
homes for families and friends.
you see,
homes are well kept and full of life.
that's why my body could be a house,
and never a home.
