this place is the face
the privilege choke with lace
and burn with kind mace
What is home?
Home is a house
but home is also a cardboard box
Home is an apartment
but home is also a store’s alcove
Home is a condo
But home’s also a gym mat on a floor
Home is a cottage
But home’s also a tent on a highway
Home can be a choice
but sometimes
a home is not a choice—
it’s a trap.
