last minute
paste beneath an unruly
seam.
a dab of white
on the door frame.
a dining room wall
painted blue.
people are coming over,
so we must get ready.
all year,
we paid these things no mind,
ignoring the frayed
edges of the rooms,
until now.
what about that ceiling
stain, can you caulk
the tub, can you paint
the front door red
does your ladder reach
those lightbulbs
in the hall, brighten
up the gloom?
