Stranded!
Mom's eyes are bloodshot,
She thinks, she thinks,
She's startled by dad's epitomized door slams!
Panic, panic!

Mom is stranded!
Dad is stranded!
The door is stranded!
Room 129, 5th Floor is stranded!

He warps the snoring pots with a piercing stare,
"What's for dinner?" He snarls!
Echoes burp from the work bag he hurls to the leather sofas,
Shoes off, tie ripped,
Eyes closed, bye dad,

Mom is stranded!
Dad is stranded!
The door is stranded!
Room 129, 5th Floor is stranded!

'Jennifer!' Mom screeeeaaams!
Hallucinations mock my stairs' descend with,
Obscured illusions as I flee,
My home, my mom, my world, my dad's fiends

Mom is stranded,
Dad is stranded,
The street is stranded,
I am —stranded.
