saving those valuable things

in the corner
are plastic bins, from the floor
to the ceiling
filled
with valuables,
such as diapers,
and then
next to them are
blankets folded and stacked
upon each other,
all colors
all blends of fabric,
a dozen, perhaps more,
and then the cups
and saucers,
the shoes lined up
along the floor,
clothes from the 70's
on racks,
empty boxes that one
can't live without.
receipts 
and cookbooks,
empty cans of soup,
washed
out and saved upon
the counter.
three or four cats
parade through the jungle
of it all.
a few mice are snared in
a few traps.
