House of Hope

I live in a house of happiness

high walls, open spaces, open windows

lighted rooms, breezy porch, gardens, gardens

I live in a house of celebration

happy faces, perfumed bodies, perfumed satin

laughing, dancing, music, music

I live in a house of security

High walls, plenty locks, plenty gaurds

fire extinguisher, safety exit, alarm, alarm

I live in a house of garage

rotting trunk, dead snake, dead mice

torn clothes, stinking pickles, decay, decay

I live in a house of happiness,

house of celebration, house of security

and of the garage that no man can see

I am the garage, the garage
