Room where we sit to eat meals,
where I do a lot of writing.
Tablecloth is vinyl, has
large floral print,
blue background. Walls are
covered with children’s art.
Plants on windowsill and
on one end of table.
Two wingback chairs —
both need to be reupholstered.
Ceiling is high.
Windsock made from
toilet paper tube, streamers
hangs from light fixture.
Dark red curtains tied in knots —
better view of neighbors’ yards,
small tree, squirrels that run
on power lines. Heat comes from
noisy steam radiator that clangs.
