Weather Ball Green, No Changes Foreseen
the whole house shakes when I do laundry
It rolls to one side, then the other, with each kick of the spin cycle
I'm not sure if the hot water is working
The kitchen sink leaks underneath
I forgot to empty the bucket underneath last month and it overflowed all over the floor
sinking in near despair to the seventies linoleum, mopping and cursing those years
when I roamed far and near, fill 'er up with the magic card, damn the torpedoes
Snap a photo, move on, change the oil, kick the tires
And now that I need to roll someone's taken the wheels off my car
Leaving me disconsolate in the driveway, watching the streetlamp flicker and sputter with indecision
I want, I want, I want, but to have, that would take change
And change is the thing I have always fought like a cornered wolverine
Pretty hard to leap when you've forgotten where your feet are
But if I could move, you would be the destination

Our first floor shakes during the spin cycle.
Not that it makes a difference,
but there is comfort in numbers.
I am going to turn into a ball and roll and roll and roll and when you open your door, you'll step on me.
I think it could work.
