<p class="verse">
You knew a guest was in the house<br />
The seat would be up.<br />
Sometimes the door would be closed.<br />
<br />
Intimacy breeds familiarity,<br />
And a sense that what was hidden<br />
Behind the door was less a right<br />
Of all, than an expectation.<br />
<br />
We are unashamed, possibly even<br />
Impolite. But we always know<br />
When there's a guest in the house.<br />
