The return of my brothers.

Frustration, a dent in the heady
cavalier that walks it's way through the house
on occasion
toting a grin that's lost effect on us
but cajoles the house 'round,
shaking the fleas out of the bathtub.

Restless, loud; News punctuated movements,
choleric. From kettle to table to telly to toilet,
a trolley at the supermarket,
mind pushing

catching threads on old doorknobs,
best left to rust.

Superbly captured. I loved the "news punctuated movements" and the fleas and the supermarket trolley. Perfect cameo.
