the plumbing
was old and rusted,
leaks
were everywhere,
water dripped through
the ceilings,
the floors, and the wires
strung like
antique veins sparked
from the plugs,
all of them frayed.
the roof was missing
shingles,
the shutters in the wind
swayed.
even the foundation
was crumbling.
and yet we moved in
anyway.
like us, it had little
hope of surviving
another day.
