Hygienic, 
Or maybe sterile: 
But always perfect. 
Lifelessness -- ever flawless, 
Unless you happen to think 
Homes are for living 
And life, enjoying. 
Even so -- 

A big spread 
Way back in the day 
(When it was a thing) 
In Better Homes and Gardens 
Was worth the joyless mornings, 
Days and evenings that 
They spent here, frozen. 
Magazines 

And pictures 
Taking precedence 
Over life
