Dare I Begin Purging
My porch must be miserable
Full of empty boxes
Thanks to Amazon’s daily deliveries
I had not noticed until today
But it is unbelievably noticeable
I wish the delivery men would take the empties away
My front door looks shabby
Needs a fresh paint job
But it is a mural and not easy to repaint
My car is not empty
There are three coats in the back seat
When did I become such a slob?
I would open the trunk
But I could not stand it
And the garage is already brimming with stuff
Nest week is spring break
Dare I begin purging?
I pick up a Styrofoam plate on my way to the car
And I am not yet in my car
So all of this is the three minutes
It took me to get ready for work!
Paying attention is unique
Has awaken me to my faults
I sit down behind the steering wheel, pondering my steps
