I heard you tore down

my shrine

well

I don’t care

it was infested with rats and

smelled like piss

nobody bothered to clean it

I’m sure you got some

shit on your hands after you

evacuated the homeless population

living inside

all shivering and glazed over

how did that make you feel

or did you not think

were you too busy tearing

rusty nails out with your yellow

sour teeth

I don’t care

nobody there bothered to update

the calendars

I hope you recycled all that paper

or maybe you did and

hurt your back going to the dump

I don’t care

I’m sure you rolled your eyes

at my renaissance paintings

well

they were painted by artists

famous worldwide

did you think you were

destroying history

they were oil

not acrylic

by the way

so

think about that

and oh

also

I gave those shivering masses

those people you called homeless

a home

and you took it away

I hope you think about that

I mean

did you have to

I pretended like it wasn’t there

forgot it was there really

it was just for everyone else

I had almost decided

we could get along

you should think about that

really
