cold clouds
foreshadowing rain

Under Stairs
the cupboard is too small
for anything useful -- one place I lived
I used this area for my computer
but this one is filled with tools
fixings and things to fix on.
Do I really need six bags
full of individual tools?
Seven spare extension cords?
Or four plastic drawers
full of orphaned screws?
Keeping 'just in case'
is my father's hoarding legacy.
If I've got a job to do
I can order from online
so what I need to do now
is chuck the lot as scrap metal
and sort it into two toolkits at most.
But that's a job and a half
for another day.
