looking for a home.

i screamed
and you heard me
in that room
with open doors

people filed in and out
stopped to look at 
screaming red circles 
and waterblood

she soaked in 
her tired patience
and silence 
and silence

when he avoided
out of shame
an almost personal moment
he came in through a door
then went back through a door

when was the last time
he's seen a girl cry?
ungentle and rude
and screaming
and screaming

but screams are nice
when the time is right
people are right to be
a little disturbed,
a little frightened,
people are interested
when you scream

see how they move around
this CAUTION
SLIPPERY WHEN WET
avoiding two loose marbles
and walking like they're 80
so careful not to fall
with their eyes on the road
but staring on with their ears

look at this animal

like a mad housewife
without a knife
i screamed and stabbed
at the everything 
that no one saw

i hope you know
i'm just looking for a home,
just looking for a home.
