I'M Not Snooping
What are you looking for?
I ask my house guest.
I’m not snooping, she replies, after jumping a foot.
What do you think you’ll find?
I ask her, as she cleans out my silverware drawer.
“I dropped a cup of coffee in here,” she informs me.
“I’m not cleaning.”
Today, as I sort through a junk drawer full of spoons, renegade Tupperware lids,
Gum, pencils, jewelry, rulers, tools, and discover a petrified piece of toast,
I ask myself
Couldn’t you have let your mother
stay a little longer last time?
