As the house empties

As the house empties I can't help but recall the Clown House ending in 07, what a surreal time.
Patches of household furnature dissapear forever and the white paint hides that anyone was ever there.
I called it "The Whitening" white paint dealt by my own hand real horrorshow.
"The Whitening" chased me around the house until I got painted out too.
Well, that white paint was there because we had faith that we would get the damage deposit back.
This guy ignored them reporting that the tub was dripping hot water faster than a coffee maker.
The water bill is huge now and there is mold everywhere, no white paint for this house.
There was a large collection of souls holding this place down, lots of help.
Who wants to work that hard on a sinking ship?
I'm sure feeling the empty as there is nobody around but me and my kids...and ocasional stuff movers.
The garden is untended, dishes undone, free food people turned away, it looks like;
and is abandoned... for the most part, what a shame.
I offered to stay behind and be forced out but got a honest and heartfelt "No Thanx".
They are not going out of thier way to diss the landlord, they just want to find housing in this cold ass weather.
So now that I'm here alone I thought I would "Help" as I have no housing problem outside the house bike.
1. I'm opening doors and cabinets with Vicegrip Pliers now.
2.I'm tossing all garbage under the house.
3. I have been flushing all recycling.
4. I donated every other roof shingle to the yard next door.
5. I painted the bedroom floor with screen printing ink, now I have
to find a way to get the room up to 400 dergees of it wont dry.
6.I turned the bath tub fawcets off with the pliers and the knobs crushed off
now it won't come on at all, I dug a hole in the backyard 6x3 new bath tub.
7. I listed the house (In Spanish) and added "Will accept pesos!"
8. I went to all the neighbors yards and cleaned the dog poo for cheap, It's next to the yard tub if you need any.
9. I cleaned the fridge out (and into the attic).
10. How do you flush a drawer?
