where to put the ocean this year

tired

of where the paintings

and photograph

hang,

i stand

back with hands on my hips,

and mentally

rearrange

the landscape

of the walls.

maybe the ocean

would go

better beside

the window,

the black and white photo

of the flat iron

building

in the dining room, 

perhaps,

the trees nearer the kitchen,

the portraits

in the hall.

i get the hammer

and jar

of nails out,

and change my little world.
