Before Spill Kits and DNA Became a Thing

The crack in the wall
at the apex
is no different today
than it was
twenty five years ago
when I first
noticed it was even
there at all ..
But let us not forget
the stain
on our ceiling is still
the very
same one in reverse
that our
neighbour still covets
even today,
but remains desperate
to hide on a rug
covered bedroom floor ..
