Replaced
I come back to a house I don’t recognize
The walls of my childhood
painted over with an ocean blue
Brand new, expensive cupboards
Sleek and quiet as they open
Not filled with any of the dishes I remember eating on growing up
I remember growing up
Quacking every chance I got
Lucky
Lots of food on the table
Lots of food in the fully stocked
