the boy blues, the girl pinks

they young parents
want washable walls.
a gloss
in the paint, as the children,
climb
and lean,
dragging hands
and feet about the house.
i want to tell
them. don't bother.
it's a battle
that only knows defeat.
call me in another 
dozen years.
we'll start fresh.
i'll cover the boy blues,
the girl pinks.
