will this last?


My mother’s house, with fake wood paneling. An old thin futon mattress on the floor. The scratching of rodents behind the unfinished constellations on the ceiling. Baked mouse turds and piss still warm in the oven long after the diner was served. The old possum scratching under the house. The white noise of the fan to drown out the paranoia and the poltergeist of memory.
