is that a double oven?

she praises the granite,
the new
tile,
the oak floors stained
a dark brown,
the bathrooms
of course
all shiny with fixtures,
the tub
clean enough to eat off,
and then there's
the kitchen,
where she nearly faints
to the floor,
touching
the stove, the ice box,
the spigot,
is that a double oven,
good lord.
look at the size of these
rooms,
the closet space,
so many windows to bring
in the light.
i see the yard, i envision
a hammock
stretched out
across the grass, anchored
by two trees,
as it swings
quietly
in a summer breeze.
