A glass house

With cracks

Fractured and gleaming silver

Like threads of glitter

And the promise that it will

Shatter


Where I spend most of my time


My house, my home

Down long hallways

Unable to catch light, ironically

Dark

Empty and changing

With a blind guide, in worn shoes


372 rooms

For anti-heroes

For

Angry

Sarcastic

Teens


For bitter divorcees

For juggling lawyers

For Leather clad candy stripers

And glitter dusted love interests

To perform


A library for dramatic license


An attic

To keep the enraged watchmen

Who remains

Perched on weakened rafters

To keep an imprecise tally

Of the ticking


Below

Buried

Beneath the houses weight

His Brother

In the Basement

Entertains un-welcomed guests

Who sneak in

Through unguarded points of

Entry

The windows of closed doors


A kitchen

For when the mad hatter comes

To breakfast

And we throw stones

Together
