Contained Within

My surroundings
are this

A floor that is so
dirty that God couldn’t
clean it

A table were I keep my
art and were the mail that
I bring in and put in a
mail sorter. But not always
collected. That’s gradatude for you.

Two lamps
One broken but still works.
The other one the lamp shade
is the wrong size.
So I have to tilt it to
keep the light from being intense.
But it’s better then nothing.

Furniture that’s been here
since who knows when but it’s
comfortable.

Wall with a new coat of paint at
least that’s new and better.

A kitchen somewhat dirty but it’s
better then not having one at all.
So I shouldn’t complain.

Bathroom on it’s way to hopefully
finally being fixed.

Hallway not much to say about that
because there isn’t anything to say
about it at all.

Finally my room….

The End
