a broom closet when growing up.
shovels
and bags of road
salt were
in there.
mops and Lysol.
straw brooms,
bottles of Mr. Clean,
a grey metal
bucket.
a scrub brush
with yellow rubber
gloves
hanging on
the rim.
sometimes we threw
our shoes
in their too
when they were muddy
or we had
stepped into
something on the road.
at some point
it became a pantry too,
for canned goods
and dog food.
