My End Table

Leta

Round, cheap

and stained by my lifestyle.


Coffee, soda, and water

stains cleaned

when they cry for attention.

 

Am I a slob?

No!

 

I’m just focused

on important things:

Work, fear and happiness.

 

The table is pink.

Or no!

It’s fuchsia

and pushing a decade old.

 

Covered

with heirloom coasters

that know secrets

about my family.


Secrets that I

dream to learn.
