the overflow

you need someone to come
and haul away
the junk that has accumulated
in your house.
the fat tvs that sit
in the basement.
the pool table you
never use
since your son went
to California.
the clothes hanging in
the closet. out of style
and somehow shrunken
to the point of being
too tight.
shoes, lots of shoes.
a hundred t shirts, all white.
who has a hundred
t-shirts. you do.
toaster ovens, that you've
kept after buying new
ones. blenders. waffle makers.
telephones.
dishes, where have these
dishes come from.
what's wrong with you,
still adding on so much,
when there is no room,
no point.
