It used to be
The kitchen table was covered with
drawings of sharks and paper dolls
works of art by small, intent fists
These have been replaced with
cigarette ash atop empty beer cans
tales of strife and rounded shoulders
I am left wondering
When will you get back to the art
and pretty music and carefree days
or is this the way
it's going to be now.
