M oving day soon:
I n the deep blue carpet sea boxy islands of
S patulas sweaters skillets stilettos
P atiently wait,
L ook around at the place they know, soon to be
A bandoned
C alifornia taking over taking a chance recreating
E xistence
M ixer toaster teakettle up all night giggling in cardboard cuboid sleeping bags
E choes of their electric lighthearted chatter
N ot at all anxious about
T heir function in a new place

"You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden, even though you have someplace where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. [...] You'll see one day when you move out. It just sorta happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. But maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know? You won't ever have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know for, for your kids, for the family you start; it's like a cycle or something."
