i just love my desk
it sits in a corner of my tiny living room
i really should clean it up
but can't see it happening anytime soon
in the right corner is a printer
a small gooseneck lao on top
some cds that i have recorded
and a buch of papers, sitting where they dropped
i have a picture of my family
sitting next to a metal tray
that has a large glass bowl
full of stuff i should go through, one day
there's a couple boxes of tissues
a external cd player
i know there's a hard drive hidden there somewhere
and poems i have written, layer upon layer
there is a ceramic bowl with lighters
a box of cigarette tubes
a note book
probably even a melted ice cube
dead batteries
my iPhone charger
a couple pairs of earplugs
the pile just keeps getting larger
some old bills
that i have to file
some old contest entries
even a diaper in the pile
(no its a clean one)
some iCloths for my screen
a beer glass that been there a while
it really needs to be cleaned
there's a crystal paper weight
a ladies purse
some old receipts
bit of a mess, but could be worse
there is just enough room
for my mouse and its pad
my e-cigarette and coffee cup
but really ...
its not all that bad
because when i need inspiration
when words can't be found
i just take a sip of ... whatever
and take a look around
and yes
in this mess
there is room for me
and my laptop
