Big Beautiful House

Big beautiful house
Ornate, enchanting
Pillars white
Stark, bland
Gardens lovely,
manicured, showcased
Grass carpet
out of bounds
Cold grey walls
Creepers pretty
Bell flowers in purple,
Cyan and blue
Fireplace sqeaky clean
Untouched
Sparkling glass
And window panes
Wooden floor
No marks no scratches
Walls plastered
No stains no photos
Paintings on canvas
With golden frame
Of fake scenes
Of some fake place
And from the window
In the west
A small cottage
Two rooms at best
A chipped wooden skirting
A chimney with soot
A baby gurgling
A puppy cute
A stained showcase
With mismatched photos
Of different years
In different frames
With winters in some
And in some, spring
