the broom is on the floor
but it won’t pick anything up
unless someone picks it up
the coffee is always hot
but drinkable just the same
sometime it gets lonely
at the kitchen table
no one needs me
or joins me for dinner
will leave my coat on
just in case I have to leave
or go hang with the cat
not because I have fleas
just because the smell in the air
is new shoe smell
that’s the only way to describe it
the broom is still on the floor
because everyone walks
right over it…
