Cathy ' s Clutter

What's in the kitchen junk drawer
Nine volt batteries ready to catch fire
Metal handles from the window that long to be replaced
White plastic bread ties my husband thinks we'll use someday
Heart-shaped sticky notes and paper waiting to be written on

With love notes to brighten my day
Two sets of keys, always becoming tangled

And undone
Mechanical pencils without the lead
Antiquated paper clips now rusty
A unicorn eraser I can't seem to throw away
Sticky pennies
A blackened clothespin
A pedometer no longer in use
A dusty white skeleton that no longer sticks when one throws it against the wall
This is one of many drawers
Cluttered

Lifelike

Complicated
