Home, Stubborn Home.
My ceiling fan threw up
on me,
It said that it got dizzy.
My phone refused to take my call,
Complaining it was "busy".

Got in some extra "snoozes",
My shower then turned into hail,
Now I've got five new bruises!
My drill was tired of practice,
It was ready for a game,
My pictures got their lawyers
Just because I had them framed.
When the stairs became glances,
I sat down and cried.
Yes I guess tonight I should just sleep outside.

where all outcomes are born
a fertile patch much like the earth
that turns seeds into
