        Breakfast etiquette:
        We're silent. Appliances
        Do all the talking.

        My home, a castle:
        Why, of all the rooms, do I
        Prefer the dungeon?

        The once-stately clock
        Runs down to grandfatherhood.
        The same as I do.

        Your open suitcase:
        A gluttonous, gaping maw.
        It's eating our past.
