Honey Do List

If and when
We replace the cabinets
Can we blow out the wall
Replace the refrigerator and cavernous oven
As well as the floor and the ever loving
Sliding glass door?
This will make us feel
Like we are human
The thought of constant change
Is sometimes not enough
Our incessant rooming is strange
Our grooming deranged and tough to swallow
The vessel, hollow
Except for a small stream of steam
The weight of smoke
As the punchline of a joke

An island might do the trick
Around the radiator
If we blow out the kitchen sink
In gladiator style
We should keep piling on the changes
Staying the same in stages
But for a while our plight
To be feeling pink
As the day we were born
White lights
Starch of corn

This is a brilliant take on the home makeover mania that can take over, and the compulsion behind it.
