i tell myself,
i'll clean out the closets,
the drawers,
toss away all the clothes
i never wear,
the shoes,
the ties,
the hats.
i'll bag everything and take it
to Goodwill,
at least the things
still wearable,
some still attached
to tags.
i'll sweep and wipe
the floors,
the counters,
get rid of the clutter.
empty the fridge of a dozen
bottles of salad
dressing,
and fruit gone bad.
i'll do something about
the yard as well.
kill the weeds, grow
some grass,
cut back the vines.
but all in good time,
there's still six weeks to go
and it might snow,
might as well
relax.
take a nap.
