Who is that?
Who is that?
That's not the one who always forgets about the crooked step at the bottom.
Not the one who checks that the screen door shut all the way.
Or the one who always uses the railing.
What business does that person have with them?
What brings this mysterious figure into their house?
The house
with
the crumbling chimney
and the second story window off to one side
making the house look like
a cat with one eye.

What brings this mysterious figure into their house?
The house

the crumbling chimney
and the second story window off to one side
making the house look like
a cat with one eye.
