in the sitting room.
One eyebrow peaked-
her posture akimboed
and
I am suspended-
in a limbo of
my feng-shui-faux-pas
post-machismo placement
of my old, silly
wall posters.
They simply-
do not go
with her
art-nouveau-asian-inspired
eggplant infused
post-modern upholstered -
color
palette.
A life of language
scrawled on a closed attic door
now reads please come in.
I would like to nominate... brown paper bag girl

That was crude and nice. Hilarious tone especially with that thing with hyphens. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I like 'Forced Hot Water'
Giggle! The combining of tastes. It sounds like you should follow hers. This was fun, I loved akimboed/machismo/nouveau running through. And like the person abov, your hyphened section were awesome.

ReplyDeleteI love this! Awesome and very amusing
ReplyDeletethe downside of being a hipster. This is cool. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this. I so saw that moment and the two players, one off stage.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Like a time where I looked askance at my husband wanting to put Warhammer figurines in our formal bedroom bookcases. I love him, I gave in, and had trolls staring at me in the night! Very amusing!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I loved the last stanza.
