49 Morris Street

I long to live in the Starburst orange house

with the cherry red tin roof that tinks every

time the rain falls nourishing the earth and

awakening the spirits. You know, the one that

sits upon the top of Morris Street with the

overgrown lawn and the gnome watching over

the purple petunias with silence.

But I come from the North. A place where

psychedelic bananas explode with the yellows

of the Sun. Where snow falls from the ground

towards the sky in tornado like vortexes and I

sit imprisoned behind personified string

cheese structures, wishing for 49 Morris Street.
