Dinner For One

March 12, 2008
From the Three Word Wednesday website – Apartment, Began, Numb

There’s nothing poetic
about an apartment.
Sure, there are times when
it feels like a home away
from home. Perhaps it began
that way for me.
But then you realize,
it is away from home.
You can only numb
yourself to that for so long
with cute Welcome Friends
doormats, ceramic cats on the mantel,
and another new wok
in which to cook
dinner for one.
