📖 Read the full poem “EAST THING? EAST BLING!” (A Dr. Seuss-style political fable about power, glitter,
and the true meaning of a “People’s House.”
Playful rhyme, sharp teeth, civic spine): bsky.app/profile/akir...

Because Houses are Houses
when people take care;
gold’s only glitter
without common air.

We bring back the Thing
that a good House brings—
light over flash, work over show.

🏛 Show up. Be bold. Grow the House.

Nameplates went sproing,
maps flipped, doors walked,
hinges hissed hush,
bricks whispered chalk.

Spades bit the garden,
two magnolias murmured
deep in the root.

This is the People’s House—
the House on the lawn—
with an East Thing for working
from dusk ’til dawn.

“I want it bigger,” said the Man.
“Bigger than memory, than measure, than us.”

Tape lines stretched.
Receipts fluttered like flags.
And the House gave.

“But who pays?” asked the people.
The stones remembered everything.

Once there was a House—
and the House belonged to everyone.
