Depart Mental Genius

What a catastrophic place There's no up or down in this space To see it is a multitude of discombobulated grace There are papers piled high upon my desk The only thing others see is a god-awful mess No organized way to tell anyone else I guess But I know where everything is Last month's bills and this week's word quiz By golly I think I'm a real organizational whiz There are ten stacks of folders with stuff coming out There are books to read, a salt shaker, my cat's old collar no doubt Yesterday's pizza still standing proud on top of magazines from a local boy scout This is my true countenance I know A freelance genius always willing to show The importance of going the extra mile just to keep things all in a row November 22, 2019 Strand Choice Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand
