Hour 12

Closets

A closet is never empty.
It is always overfull with items.
One closet holds remnants of Christmas
that remain unused – – not cat safe.
One holds random boxes
of life’s paper trails.
One holds clothes from work
and the everyday I now wear
along with linens,
extra paper products,
shoes,
backpack
and just oversized junk.

A closet is a metaphor
for an overburdened life.
