Raw egg yolks dripping off the counter
Flour dusted on clean dishes
I dropped the wine glass
and swept the shards underneath the chair
Mud tracked in from both doors
Sticky kool-aid trapping cat hair on the table
The roof is leaking and the windows are drafty
And I'll keep the curtains open
A conversation piece
Shocking revelation
Neighbors passing will ask me
And I'll become better at telling the story each time
But today I think I'll draw the shades
Dim the lights
Maybe I'll run the bath water until it overflows
Maybe I'll chip the paint off of all the doors
Or maybe I will clear the basement
And clean all the floors
It's too bad I don't have a mop
