My Troubled Cluttered Room
I stack it high, but don’t sell it cheap, don’t sell it at all
It accumulates wall to wall, floor to ceiling, a mountain tall
The task is horrible, it zaps my energy, makes me tired.
Sorting, cleaning and throwing are things of which I am not wired.
I feel exhausted in this troubled cluttered room
I make phone calls, or contract relatives using Zoom
They give me all kinds of advice on what to throw and what to keep
I don’t take any of it; this mess makes me want to wail and weep.
