Brother’s gotten taller, buffer
Dad’s older, perhaps more gray
Mother’s selfless, she always was
Dog’s plumper, scraps add to her waist
House is quieter, brother moved out
Room’s emptier, he took my stuff
Bathroom’s smaller, to apartment contrast
TV’s warmer, with cable hooked up
Mind’s relaxed, step away from homework
Mind’s relaxed, step away from school
I am here,
here ready to unbend.
