move
for order, for reason and stability,
i make my bed.
i pull the sheets
up tight
around the mattress
after shaking free the crumbs
of chips
and cookies,
then carefully
lay out the blanket,
smoothing out the creases.
i fluff the pillows
as i line them up
against the headboard.
i stand back and admire my
handiwork
after adjusting a lampshade.
i'm in control here.
this could possibly
be the beginning
of a new day.
