Re: Cleaning Time Poem by RIC BASTASA

it has been quite a long time
when the cleaning has not been done

the cabinet is dusty and the floors stained
the walls bearing the unnecessary marks
words of protests are written and the door
creaks with hinges not oiled for long

today i am looking for the clutter of
those i do not need
the garbage has to be discarded
what has piled must be inspected
the unimportant must go

i also speak about my anger
my indifference my selfishness
like garbage they must go too
lest i be like those that i have spoken before
