Empty Cup Room

Empty Cup Room's a Mess Empty cup room’s a mess Glow light lit, messy papers stacked Back lit computer shines in dark There are my missing glasses, what the heck! Taped up fine are things I’d lost Pile of books? Who cares? Cats are smiling; one eye needs a blip of white Neon pink is really neon orange So many cords rats could live in here Bottle of water days old now Toilet paper strewn across Thesaurus Kid books stacked with notebooks and reference world book Mold floating around in cup, remnants of coffee I dare not open a drawer Six pens already that do not work Bits of spiral notebook paper Curiously an uncurious scene A mess I say I am cleaning today As I add six more things to the pile
