A Gift

This brown rug
this disgusting brown rug 

There's *****in the toilet 
and scum in
the tub. 

a couch to sleep
and a room that
couldn't fit a slide 

I hate TV 
I dream
I imagine 
and
think 
laugh and fear 
sleep and make 
mmmm 
I fall
I catch 
I wipe my 
ass 
I sing 

the sun and smile 
shed light
