The wallpaper today is stained yellow
but smells good
my razor cuts a square piece off
cardinals sing, blackbirds mate
three ducks in flight hang on one wall
colours faded, looking jaded
Their ego stripped naked and paraded
someone lights a cigarette
smoke rings pale truth
merging to the staining
as it begins to rain
the razor now rests on the table
nearby the yellow square
ceiling drips scarlet tears
yellow fades to amber
a surge of emotion
brings the wallpaper down
