You came to my house,
and we had one of those bathtubs
with the shower curtain all the way around.
A huge room, the size
of my real life bedroom, were
this not a dollhouse in my head,
and were we not dolls.
The plasterpaint was rotting off,
and you were as haughty as ever,
and I sat against the tub on the floor,
and the linoleum stretched desert before me.
You told me about siamese twins,
and how I'd never find mine,
and how you had everything YOU
would ever need, and I sat,
and I played with my legos, and
ignored you. I was happy, then.
But for the next day, I was mad
that someone would interupt
when I was trying to build
the ultimate dinosaur city
on the bathroom floor of a house
that was so small, that I
had only imagined, but you know,
what if you had really come?

think in a locked room there's
sanity and insanity? Anyways,
I don't know if there are any
children anymore. Maybe they
went out of fashion."
