Breakfast, coffee and book;
bought a new rug for the bathroom,
a carpet sweeper, cat food,
socks-undies-camisole, batteries.
Its a green sweeper meaning
powered by a human,
the blue-green rug matches the bath better,
batteries tucked-in the monoxide alarm,
filling one cupboard - a fancy feast,
the rest still on my bed:
Hanes hi-cuts white as the camisole,
brown socks, black socks,
beige cream gray and striped.
Minestrone soup for lunch, spilled some,
peanut butter sandwich for desert,
ferried out the garbage,
greenly swept the dark brown carpet
free of stray litter and cat hair
like the box said it would,
and that's my day so far.
