Apartment House

On the roof of my building they built a house.
My apartment isn’t big, but the building’s square footage
is much greater, so the house is substantial.

Thatched roof, fake chimney, push open windows.
It’s like a real-live house, for real-live tenants.
I can’t afford it, but I took the tour
for people who want to move in.

They put artificial grass out, to give it a homier feel. Weird.
They even added a dog, for effect.
The little thing went over the side.
Now there’s a fence up,
so a kid doesn’t go the same way.

I am hoping this isn’t too much for the apartments beneath.
The architect must have planned for that, right?
Planning is what capitalists do, right?

Right?
