The Smell Of Home

'good morning and hello'

throw open your windows

and pry open your blinds

with fingers wet from the dishes of the night before last until the early hours of morning

when you know that you are beaten by your eyes and your legs and they would take you home but that red couch is closer

so you make the most of an unbuttoned shirt and try your best not to put your feet up because solid ground will be needed for your ego to battle your hangover

and the scraps go to the loser

and the dishes wait for no one

and we all love the smell of home
