Would you be embarrassedof the station wagonand the pitched roof houseSo far fromThe building of glassthat would glowlike a jewel box at night
Would you cringeat the flowered curtainsand the plastic toys, mislaid shoes, marker drawingsstrewn like fallen leavesSo far fromLines of clean marbleand white Saarinen chairs creating Matisse masterpiece shadows
Would you scoff at dreams ofchickens and sunflowersfuzzy pajamas and solitary walks in snowSo far fromAmbitions ofaccolades and magnum opi monographsblack dresses and safe deposit boxed jewels
Would you be ashamed Or Would you have changed
Like I did?
