Notes About The Poem

You tell me

I keep my house uncluttered,
appearances are key.
Still dust accumulates,
I try to not let it bother me.

I don't make people eat off my floor
so... how clean does it really have to be?

I ask myself that same question...I don't like clutter and chaos. I try to ignore dust.
