that kind of house is gone now

they tore

down the old house.

the rambler

built

in the 50's, the Eisenhower

Nixon

style house.

the brick and siding house

with a chimney

and a patio.

the conservative

black

and white tv house,

the mannered

house,

the apron

the tie, the square house

before

the music died

house.

the garden party house,

the martini lunch

house.

the church on Sunday

morning house.

the three kids

and a dog

house.

mom and dad, a chevy

in the driveway

house.

the manicured lawn

and rose bushes

house.

a grill in the yard,

a flag on the pole,

Christmas lights strung up

for the holidays.

that house.

it's gone now.
