Down Payment on a Mortgage

Down Payment on a Mortgage

 

 

 

insanity is moving into a new house

the moving van is tilted at an odd angle

the furniture is glazed with deceit

the crazy couch rolls off the truck

 

a rocking chair brain back and forth

back and forth

through the windowed eyes

clarity is a blurred wig

 

and inside, we really don't want to know

what goes on,

we'd rather fences were built 

high enough, the house would be camouflaged

 

because barbed wire

is the tongue of the inhabitant

 

we are already bleeding

from the transition

and the neighborhood 

is losing its value

 

the price of real-estate

plummeting

like a blind faith

facing the truth

 

that has repainted itself

an off-white color

and we are wondering

"are those strands real

or are they Memorex?"

Tri-Trumpalism America questions its own sanity as reality bites and Donald 'takes up residence' in the Off white house and orders the building of the wall to continue. We loved the things he said about the UK and Brexit but lets hope he does not turn out to be a lame (Donald) Duck!

sounds like the changing of the guards at the whitehouse and the wall between mexico and the usa is now in transition.
