Bernard Chan Poet Free verse

Unglued

They have lived 
in a succession of apartments
through the years, 
one bigger than the last.

And the bigger their home,
the more cramped it feels.  

She's nostalgic for the first apartment. 

Tiny it was, but big 
for two people 
who were glued together 
all the time anyway.
