FOREVER CHEMICALS

Mom is trying to sell the house
She says
It needs a new roof
All the water gets in when it rains
I was packing up
Looking for that one polaroid
Of my ex girlfriend in just her bra
I wanted to see if it was real
All the wallpaper is gone
It’s all white now
Can’t find the polaroid
Maybe I did that thing
Where I wake up in the middle of the night
Burn the things I love
And go back to sleep
