my soul is stored in my scent like swimming pools

Once there was a boy and a house
the boy asked the house,
"am I happy?"
and the house said, "no"
the next day the boy played guitar
inside the house and asked the house,
"am I happy?"
and the house said, "no"
the next day the boy invited
his friends over to play
music in the house
then the boy asked the house,
"am I happy?"
and the house said, "no"
many days later the boy asked the house,
"does anyone live here?"
and the house said nothing.
