Spaces and places
Spots and slots
We each fit somewhere
in houses - or not!
Homes are our castles
where hearts live inside
But we set out conditions
for who should reside.
Babies are crying,
children make noise.
Teenagers disrespect while
adults just work and their
elders need care.
So we are sorted and separated
with disdain and dislike,
when transitions through life
could enjoy and instruct and help all out alike
giving homes many hearts
whether castles or not.
“I know there is strength in the differences between us.
I know there is comfort, where we overlap.”
~ Ani DiFranco
