(house)

Our house is ass
backwards,
that’s all right
so are we.
All the houses
here have the
garbage cans
on the street
which is the back
side of the house.
though you might
prefer to think
the front,
people complain
they can’t tell
where the front
door is.
Who says I even
wanted you to come.
I think I like it
as it is.
with the house number
obscured,
and no visible sign
of entry.
