About This Poem

Last Few Words: stuck on this one right now. it's about how so many people use homes to project the image they desire to be. it feels to broad and unspecific but, at the same time, almost every home i see is just the same thing over and over. anyhting will help. please feel free.

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

It seems stupid to have a house that doesn't seem to have been lived in.
Wonder where they keep the dust or the stains from a spilt drink of days ago, do they live there???
Is it a home or just an environmental shell that they cannot use.
These places what are they for, I can imagine just before I visit that they throw everything into a spare room that no one sees, or they have given you an address that is used by all their neighbours when having visitors,
that is kept in perfect order????? The mind Boggles lol
There are many stories to be told on this theme yet, yours just an inroad to be explored, Yours Ian.T
