pigeonshit for pigeonhole

It's not that bad though
It has french windows
and balconies and enough
square feet.

Funny to think of
Square
Feet.
Imagine walking
on angular feet.

The walls keep the good sun out.
The walls keep the bad sun out.
Two sides of the same coin:
pigeonhole- and in the same breath -
"Yes yaar, at least an asset."

What I would actually want
is a couple of shifting walls,
(not more)
each wall a unit of shifting windows
so that I can open shut arrange bend cheat
decorate not the walls but the
form itself.
Lego, but more than Lego
more beautiful and more flexible
and more arty without the farty:
simple clean manoeuvrable.

Some taps don't work.
Flushes are slow.
Seepage signs.
I will have these fixed.
But I won't fly away
the pigeons and neither
will I clean the pigeonshit
from the balconies.
