Dare I Begin Purging

My porch must be miserable Full of empty boxes Thanks to Amazon’s daily deliveries I had not noticed until today But it is unbelievably noticeable I wish the delivery men would take the empties away My front door looks shabby Needs a fresh paint job But it is a mural and not easy to repaint My car is not empty There are three coats in the back seat When did I become such a slob? I would open the trunk But I could not stand it And the garage is already brimming with stuff Nest week is spring break Dare I begin purging? I pick up a Styrofoam plate on my way to the car And I am not yet in my car So all of this is the three minutes It took me to get ready for work! Paying attention is unique Has awaken me to my faults I sit down behind the steering wheel, pondering my steps
