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
