We have a common
kitchen wall
with my neighbor
in this apartment house.
So….
“I am supposed to keep it
as it is”.
No change, ever should take place,
thinks she,
my next door neighbor.
But when a change is needed,
it is needed.
Patience must be there
on both sides of the wall.
No amount of sugar coat
or fuming
will the old wall endure.
It simply needs a redo;
new backsplashes, cabinetry and
a brand new countertop
to breathe.
Shall I let it die now?
