Mise-En-Scene-Ii

It was a far cry for us to rent a house But desire prevailed upon limited income My wife was showing the rented house To a beautiful woman, our next door neighbour, And I was preoccupied with my work Sitting in our loosely fenced enclosure. “This is our kitchen,” my wife said “Superb” the woman said “This is our bedroom”, my wife said “Very cute” she said using another adjective “This is our living room,” my wife said “Oh, wonderful” Yet another adjective As they came out where I was sitting “My husband” my wife said “Very wwwwwww” she said, She started rattling on about the previous occupants of the house Rambling together tales of the tenants. The woman knew I taught English at a college, I think she wanted me to overheard The random adjectives she used in English. Don’t ask me in which humour My wife had been as the lady left.

you use the day~by~day prose's potential to create poetry, there is tension and emotion under the first layer and a lot of anticonventional spirit. nice to meet you in poetry land.
