keeping order

how carefully
you've arranged
your drawers
and closets.
your shoes,
brown on one
shelf, the other
black. the summer
clothes separate
from winter clothes.
and how you pay
your bills on time,
lined in order
on your desk
as to which is
due first, and
which is last.
there is no dust
anywhere that can
be seen.
it's obvious how
troubled you are.
