all spice?

i look at the top shelf,
almost
unreachable as i stretch
my arm
and hand
to grab
a few small jars of
spices.
spices i rarely use,
left over
by a previous but
temporary tenant..
i turn them over to
sprinkle some
out, but they're dried
and jammed.
clumps tumble around
inside.
garlic salt, celery,
hot pepper,
basil in a jar, bay leaves.
what's this?
all spice.
how is that possible.
using my old hook
shot,  i fling each across
the kitchen
to swish into the can.
game over.
