Dumpster Fire

In a dumpster at a house close to me
were the contents of a home bourgeoisie. 
In the night, it caught fire,
which did fill me with ire;
was gonna dive for a velvet settee!

Things become meaningless in a fire. Oh that heavenly fire will burn up such things that mattered not. Love remains!
