Put the flowers in the vase
they will never wilt
Set the dishes on the table
they will never get dirty
Place the cake in the middle
no one will ever eat it
A doll's house
tiny perfection
no dog pee
on the little carpets
no leaky shower
in the little bath
just antique footed 1:12 tub
no phone calls
no complaining
no demands
battering diminutive plastic ears
battering diminutive plastic ears
no noise
.
.
.
small quiet
still life
stilled life
still life?
