It’s a Trap
Property for sale,
About 200 acres
Good land for dirt and flowers
For dreams and growth
Old farmhouse in the corner
Falling in the creaks in the floor
It’s a fixer-upper
It’s a visual aesthetic
Of a time and place
It’s a thought
Of 100 years ago
From the found pictures upstairs
Were these people happy here?
If I had to guess, I’d say no
It’s a trap with cat tails
Coming through the bathroom window
It’s a trap with snakes lounging In the old couch in the front room
