My Tio
He lives on Leisure Town Road
Where hard work
Is never had
He lives in a magic world
Where money is no object.
Where you forget
The family you left behind.
The walls of his home are perfectly painted
A smooth cream white.
Unblemished.
A contrast to the peeling green walls he grew up in.
My grandma
She lives in a trailer park.
Watching babies all day so that
my tias can work.
He doesn't think about
The walls he grew up in.
Or the way his mom can't afford a home.
Leisure Town made him forget.
