The Ticking Catalyst

Two new roommates

to share a shelter

a pair of listening rooms

three toilet brushes

A little privacy lost

Diplomacy is expected

and reciprocated

I'm unnerved

My less free existence

could be the catalyst

for improving my social life

or the ticking bomb

that fuels my fear

These men I live with

Younger

Adventurous

Mellow yet ambitious

Each follows his own path

while rebuilding

the wrecks of their past
