parking

i'll find you a convenient parking spot
in the empty lot
of my chest
there's no one left

they realize
this is not a home
we can idle together
but you must leave alone

the places we spend our time and money
it's funny
that we charge for parking
but we make a living from your being here
inside ourselves

we invite you in
but we don't want you to stay
we lure you with a warning
we will tow you away

who should pay
when you let someone in?
