HOUSEBOUND

WELL THERE IS A WORLD OUTSIDE THAT I NEVER CARE TO SEE AGAIN CAUSE I WENT THERE ONCE AND THAT WAS ONE TIME TOO MANY AND YOU CAN READ ME STORIES AND HOW GOOD IT IS TO TALK AND YOU CAN SHOW ME PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALL THE PLACES WE COULD WALK BUT IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AND FROM MY CHAIR RIGHT THERE I CAN SEE THE GARDEN TREES THE BLACKBIRD RUSTLING THROUGH THE IVY LEAVES AND SOMEDAYS WE FIND HIM SITTING ON THE KITCHEN TABLE AND HE FLIES OUT IN A PANIC AND I WOULD FOLLOW IF I WERE ABLE BUT IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN SO TAKE MY SKIS WHEN YOU LEAVE AND WILL YOU THROW THEM INTO THE SEA GIVE MY BEST TO FRED WHEN YOU MEET HIM IN THE STREET THERE ARE TRAINS TO BE LATE AND KIND PEOPLE I HAVE YET TO UPSET AND THERE’S A WIDE WORLD OF HATE JUST WAITING FOR A CRACK AT MY HEAD BUT IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN
