welcomehomepoem #1
the new AC unit upstairs fills with water there’s no way to drain it easily spent a lot of time
mopping no way to keep it from leaking turned it off dragged bedding
down-stairs slept on the floor demi already asleep on the couch up at four
checked the AC which even off still leaking banked it with towels we have mice
saw a
cockroach a biggie
fiddling its feelers smished it washed my foot demi spotted a small one this
morning maybe we have babies that’s all we need
