taking control

we seek order.
we
want to feel some sense
of control
that the world is really not
some random
cascading
stone.
we line things up
in the drawer.
the spice rack
hung on the door.
the size determines
where the next dish
will go.
the pots and pants.
a separate slot for knives
and forks.
we set our shoes
beside one another.
white shirts
on hangers, one after
the other
before the blue begins.
