sending up the bat signal

my house is unusually dirty
at the moment.
and i still have six more days
until the maid arrives.
i'm not sure how this happened.
where did all this clutter come
from. who's been here
making this mess. the sink
is full of dishes. the sheets
on the bed are in disarray.
so many coffee spills.
newspapers and magazines
are scattered everywhere.
who would leave a half eaten
chicken sandwich on a plate
going up the stairs.
each can full of kleenex and
wrappers, there's an inch
of dust on the shelves.
moving is an option, i suppose.
or i could send up the bat signal
telling milagro to get here
soon. i need her help.
