Overrated virtues of cleaning

Organ-ize it
like some sort of sick 
symphony 
I suppose
though the latter half of my A&P 
studies
suggest otherwise
working together in harmony
a kind of homeostasis, (it makes me
shudder to think of any living space being like that)
organ...ized
like fossilized something that sets out a course to 
take place over eons of time 
that no one small 
frail human could ever understand
much less scratch with tiny hands
at the surface of..
it just feels so cold, so
desolate, 
but despite all this languid poetry
and verse 
the room still has to get cleaned
