I want to live in the purple house

we used to pass

when we drove

to visit our grandparents.

Mommy would laugh at me,

my sisters would tease me, yet I

still want to live in that purple house.

Perhaps that house would be near the ocean.

My dream is to live near the ocean in the purple house

with a few other wishes thrown in as well, but let it begin

with the purple house and let it be near the ocean.
