Memorable moments are made of these too
The interlock of mating roaches
On the kitchen floor, surprised by
Hungry footsteps and winking lamps
The slippery smile of the sink
As spitting faucets wage a to-to-to war
On its aluminum silence, while oily dishes
Dread the fury of foaming sponges
Have you ever eavesdropped the gossip
Of house rats as they mock
The laughable anger of bulbous-bellied
Landlords who feast on nibbled leftovers
Of last night’s mousy raid.

Kriririi kraaaa on dripping dishes
Sleepless rage behind the doors
Criminal canines are quick on the job
The ceiling is the sky
But not for gallant geckoes
Their slippery slide, their gritty grab
Their whitish droppings on the suffering sofa
Memorable moments, memorable moments
Domestic deal, unflattered deeds
Beyond the royal bugle, far from
The scam in the camera’s eye
