these things

there are some
things in life that
you can't get rid of.
take all of that frozen
food in the freezer
for example.
what is it,
how long it's been
there is anyone's
guess.
and that spare
closet full of clothes
and shoes, shirts
and ties
that will never get
worn again,
they collect dust
on the hangers.
the chair in the basement.
the sofa with
the ink stains,
the dog stains,
the chewed cushions.
the fat t.v.
that you rolled down
the stairs,
you can't even lift it.
no one wants it.
it's best just to
turn your head, and
ignore their existence,
as they do yours.
