The house burnt down nNot to the ground but it might as well have nAnd I was so angry at probability nWhy was it Wednesday nWhy not Tuesday or Monday nOr any day that I did not have band at school nAny day that my clarinet wasn’t safe at school nI just wanted it to die nDie in the fire like it should have died nLike my kitty cat nLike my mom’s old photographs nLike my Dad’s comic book stash nLike my brother’s innocence nnThe house burnt down nNot to the ground but it might as well have
