A sock
finding itself
stranded
post-laundry -
Odd.
One spoon
left
uncleaned
by the dishwasher -
Too difficult.
The stray
AA
abandoned
in the drawer
when you were looking
for a triple -
Unwanted.
The Lego bouquet
centre stage,
gathering dust
on the table -
Masquerading.
The cactus
perched on the shelf,
reaching
sideways
towards the window -
Trying.
Maybe all this time,
of feeling
out of place,
I was trying to force
my 2x2 brick
in a 1x1 space.
