Candles are flickering in suburbia tonight
amidst leather and Nintendo,
glazed eyed kids with real daddy Mario.
Hairy assed husband is not hunting
for the match is on.
The kitchen will cook what it seems fit.
An animated rabbit will erase the rest of the day
that red wine failed to take away.
But the flames are alight
to bring this house to life
in vanilla and New York cheesecake.
The glow that filled the cave
whilst a carcass stripped of being
rotted beside humping humans
making children who made children
who created Santa and Ikea
and feeling a sense of loss
they lit their square caves
with candles.

Is there an issue between past and present tense here? I'm sorry to ask but the lack of punctuation in the second half is making it a little hard for me to grasp whether you're transitioning from one point to another or remaining in the zone of the house and the cave as being one.

and for clarity an animated rabbit is exactly what you think it might be. This is a JB production all said and done :D

lol. I got it. I was thinking the stoneage and descendant stuff but wasn't quite sure. Guess the candle wax might have been different through the ages but it doesn't detract from the light it creates. Perhaps that rabbit should have leapt in between the lines of the cheesecake and the cave?
