And the roof started to leak


We fix and repair, we try once more, seal with silicone, wipe the tears,

unclog the drain, rinse the face, a bucket in the living room; drip drip,

let the water flush so no one can hear the sound from peeing, tarpaulin on the roof,

moisturize, air out the condensation on the window frame, put in a tampon,

fix and repair, try once more.
