Cleaning for the Party


This morning,
cleaning for the party
I found:

a Hot Wheel in the dishwasher
a round brush in the rock garden
a spider in the curtain folds
jacks in the fire place
many marbles
many buttons
cutips behind the wastebasket
a plastic pony on the porch
pipecleaners in the grass
a headless rubber snake
two rocks and a penny in the washing machine
a green tomato on the patio
a line of ants
the last of a broken beer bottle
popcorn under the sofa
a flea
way too many wires
my missing toothbrush on the wine rack
two dusty 7lb weights
and a pair of underwear... on the bookshelf.
