sorry...but

I don't know about you

but I'd like

about ten copies

one for each room

in case those who enter

missed it on their way in

Oh I can fool you

on the blog

with

close-up

just right

angles

of a family room

mantle

with stockings

hung with care

lights glittering

on an heirloom tree

cleverly 

side-stepping 

the surrounding view

of a leg-flex machine on

the coffee table

a husband snoring on his

temporary bed

 a recliner in a previous life

piles of important hospital

papers and rehab exercises

on every flat

surface

Ah heck...

who am I foolin'

those posters are needed

even when there

isn't a man

sleeping

on my couch

Now

if only I can

tap into my inner

Roseanne

and be at peace with it

After all

I find I am most

comfortable

when I visit others

with real-life

used like

crazy

paper piled high

kids stuff cluttered

we

live

here
 homes.

Aren't you?
