were things left on his desk.
a letter opener,
a stiff
blade meant
to cut open
a sealed envelope,
a magnifying glass he
used for
the small print
which was getting smaller
each year.
there were stamps,
and ink pens.
pencils in a jar,
erasers. cut coupons,
a calendar
placemat
with coffee rings embedded.
an address book with the name
and numbers
of all his children.
a check book
with one check left.
his will.
his wallet.
and a picture of his
dog beside
his bright blue car.
