Foundation laid, skeleton of wood waiting for metal or drywall
There's a crack in the concrete But we've come this far If I patch it, you may notice, if I don't, you'll fall through The windows were meant for the walls, not the floor Just another thing to swallow you whole The moving truck is coming with all the baggage we couldn't bear to let go We'll put it in storage until until until until So many untils we'll never get anything done We'll forget to punish ourselves for all our wrongs We'll squeeze too tightly to our broken mirrors You were struggling to clean the dishes in this house I built for you No running water, no counter space, no walls, no roof Just the kitchen sink filled with dirty dishes The crack in the foundation is spreading But we've hung the pictures and made the bed If anyone comes for dinner, do you suppose they'll mind the cracks their plates? If we don't mend these cracks the lawn may grow through the floor Perhaps no one will notice the crumbling foundation I've bought a new area rug |
