My OCD nightmare came true the other night.
I was away from home. It was late at night. I was far away. I realized that
If my house burned down
Which is something that might happen
I wouldn’t save anything.
It would be from my hair straightener
Or my candle. Or a burner on the stove
I forgot to switch off. I hope it will burn
Quick, not take anything out with it.
Id want to watch it drift to ashes
After being engulfed in flames.
Id want to take a piece of the floor with me,
Slanted in all its glory,
Smelling of old beer and stomped out ash
Id grind it up and sprinkle it over a smoothie.
