While I Was With Her
the bathroom light switch broke
it peeled off the wall below
the living room window
the damp advanced
it rotted the wooden window frame in the living
I washed with less frequency the female dog
the kitchen range started to leak gas
it cracked the plastic knob for the front left stovetop
it had a slit the toilet lid that I didn't replace
I still pee seated on the cold sanitary
while I was with her I didn't mend anything.
