100

It looked the same as it does now,
the way I remember it.
With the cheap stained glass window
above the marble counter

At the time, though, it was only
the painting on the wall
behind where you were standing
and the sound the coffee maker doesn't make
when it's been off for a while

Everyone said that it goes away.
Well it didn't,
but now the windows look just like
the broken glass on your basement floor

  1. Congratulations on hitting 100! This is probably one of my favorite things you've written, it's awesome. Really descriptive and personal, I assume it's about your house. You paint a really clear picture. Like I always say, keep it up.
