[working, resting ]

moving out of the old house must have been really hard
because it seems to have taken everything
out of you.
you can go days without talking to any of us
or anyone else, either.
you're not there for me when i need you,
but there is always food. and light. and it's
not like there aren't four walls and a bed or two.
and you don't yell or scream or even
ask where we're going,
you'll live from one day to the next
in the same room. book in hand.
always either
resting or working.

It's not like I've been here before. What else do I expect?
