My flip flops swishing
under
my feet
I sweep up the glass
and
take it to the trash
I walk back into the room
and
wonder
How I took it this far
I'm frustrated
but
Broken glass, spilt water
And knocked over electronics
Doesn't help me at all
I hurry to salvage
Perishable things
Then leave my home quickly
I cannot stay
Screaming and heaving
Over what does not go my way
