everything

when the printer needs ink
and is poised on the shredder
and the four-cup coffee maker in the
flimsy white plastic bag
has sandals propped up against it
not to mention the scrubbing pad
left on the filing cabinet
and rented movie dvd half on
the electronic label maker
I pause

turn on the floor fan sitting
on top of the dehumidifier
and write about it all

I've been gone two weeks farming. What a treat to come look at your new work!!!

floots - home-brewed catalysts, made fresh daily (and yesterday's is still available!) :)
sometimes it's good to just relax and write...I suppose

queen neetee - environmental variables with random distributions, hard to find the mean sometimes in data day life - thank you for stopping in once again.

aurora - I have got to get something written that I feel good about posting on Magna - or at least get past whatever it is that keeps me hesitant - there is so much very good stuff there

ryan - welcome back, sounds like you were treated well at the farm! Keep up the good writing you do.

polona - I know chaos when I see it (I think floots & I had a brief note about this earlier) - will tackle the disorder soon as I get a few spare weeks!

My place is different, I don't have a dehumidifier. The rest I recognize. Excellent poem Steve!!
