When Living In A Chimney

When living in a chimney
Your perspective is skewed
That which is building is chimney
That which is chimney is home
When living with bricks for windows
There is mortar to be identified
Cracks represent problems
Hairline fractures let light in
Bugs find their way into everything
But these are giant bugs
That don't mind tar
Nor monoxide
Because they are chimney bugs
And you live inside a chimney
