Under the Bed

Under the bed there are lots of things stored: (In the city, such space simply can’t be ignored.) An alternate quilt meant for wintertime use, A cart for the laundry with one wheel that’s loose; My black boots and brown boots and costumes and props From short plays I’ve written (and none of them flops!). A newspaper stack with some articles saved, A Chinese umbrella my daughter once craved; A pocketbook gift with the tags on (too big!), Some art supplies, books and a Halloween wig, A suitcase with clothes that I no longer wear – That just about covers what’s hiding down there. I’m certain my storage spot isn’t unique; It’s private and perfect – if no one will peek!
