That Lived-in Look<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cnothing is different but\/ everything has changed\u201d [paul simon]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

sweep the floor<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

predict the weather<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

recharge the batteried things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

leave a different light on most nights<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

just one bed is more practical but sometimes I wish the couch was long enough to sleep on<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

that day the door wasn\u2019t where I\u2019d left it<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the sun got up on the wrong side of its planet today<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how it would feel to be like my living room, with 5 windows and 4 doorways<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

if a window frame could keep the outside out without having a window–no glass to obscure<\/p>\n

or get buggy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

do an electric stove and a campfire have anything in common but heat<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

house, cave, condo, trailer. Or take off my skin, prop it up with some of my bones and<\/p>\n

feel snug for the night<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

some days won\u2019t start until I\u2019ve made coffee<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

have any flowers gotten in<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

why are there clouds on the ceiling<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

every once in a while\u00a0 I walk as closely as I can to my walls to make sure that no part of<\/p>\n

the floor feels neglected<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can see all around without turning my head<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
