This is a strange kind of exile
what should be sitcom jokes
and happy knowing sighs
is instead:
wearing headphones while i brush my teeth
in order to block out the panting and creaking
meals and betimes now executed at a ratio of 2:1
greetings are made in two different languages
and as they abscond quietly
into another room each night,
leaving me to entertain
maybe others but always discomfort
the close and click of the door says
"we interpret your support and understanding
as unconditional."
