Changing Places

Some thoughts while moving into a new apartment

Chairs, table, and coffee mug
Hanging plants and striped rug
Another taped and packed box
Neckties, dress shirts and black socks.
Green bag full of cooking spices
Iced tea and brown and white rices,
Noodles, saltines and Bisquick too,
Green food coloring leaked and Elmer’s glue.
Pyrex cooking dishes are chipped,
Littles trails of flour follow from a bag, ripped.
Another moving day is here
Changing places with a small tear.
Everything will find a place to call home,
Safe again until I decide to roam.
