Depression desires a move –
maybe east, where the sun rises
and views are more picturesque
but espoused to Disability ensures
limitations – no multi-level dwelling
just a single story, easy access home
Surely, there is a place, where both
tales can co-exist, and Depression’s
suppressed flamboyance can soar
and Disability’s plentiful talent
can escape the darkened confines
of four dimly lit walls, be witnessed
She is actress and he is victim, and
a fresh start is required – ownership
that’s less costly – discovery a possibility
gorgeous, inebriating abundance –
a foundation of hope – no more
lowering themselves to circumstance
Yet, both are married to responsibility,
clutch it with terror, personal cravings
a menace – store their dreams in boxes
basement buried – the family home
a weighty treasure – ignore the niggling
call to downsize – prefer to embrace
their fateful fortunes with loyalty –
a wounded pair, reluctant to let go
fear an insurmountable barricade.
