First Let Us Sort all the Words

Inspired somehow listening to this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bDsCwuxDwfQ

First Let Us Sort all the Words

Let’s start with the “a” words

addict and attic

Is there an addict in the attic?

is the attic

like the one

in the old house

by the chicken farm

in Jasper Alabama

with the stairway

like there was supposed to be a second floor

but only a handmade wooden door

and opened up direct, dark, dusty,

attic with one dirty window letting

in soft light

or was it something else?

I don’t know.

I go into attics every day,

strangers attics.

I’ve never met an addict in an attic.

I’ve never met anyone

in the hundreds of attics

I’ve gone into.

I’ve come out of every one

I went into

usually safely.

Except the one

I fell out of

and broke both feet

And both knees

but I’m mostly OK now.

I didn’t get addicted

to painkillers except for

Tylenol and Advil

which I take with coffee

and sometimes food

especially the Advil.

Well you can sort

some more letters

I think this was enough

for me for today.
