another variation

 my entire childhood

my father

was always at me

about the lego

"its all over the house"

he would say

"its in every room"

he would say

I thought he was mad

exagerating in that way

that adults

sometimes do

and one day

when I was probably too old

he gave it all

to the childrens hospital.

Now i live in a house

and if you cast a glance

there is lego in every room.

and I find myself

telling my son to clean the lego

"its all over the house"

"its in every room"

and i'm reminded about that split ends song

history never repeats

I tell myself

before I go to sleep

except for the lego
