Organized Chaos
Joanna M. Weston


 
I believe in junk drawers
that contain a tack hammer
two pairs of thin-nosed pliers
corks   a ball of string
film canisters full of thumb tacks
loose screws    those oddments
absolutely necessary
to everyday events
bent nails  pencil stubs
worn out marker pens
half a roll of marking tape
the knife-sharpener
I looked for last week
and the letter I intended
to answer but lost
