The Landlord He was a good tenant. Rent was always on time. I think a sister paid it — The checks were in her name. And even when I found out that He was keeping a cat — You can’t get the stink out, The place becomes, Within weeks, A place a cat has been — I couldn’t bear to make him Give her up, Much less evict him. I know our reputation — We’re all cold-hearted, Care only about money, But some of us are decent. I live here too, which is what Makes this place feel more Like one of those boarding houses in Balzac, Places bachelors used to live In my grandfather’s time.
Absolutely beautiful, Austin🌿
Love the imagery! Yes, landlords can be good people, sometimes.
