Into the kitchen, surrounded by clutter

Crumb-covered plate sitting next to the butter

Coffee stained mug at the edge of the sink

Put on the kettle to make me a drink

 

Dust-dotted gadgets lie dormant, unused

Wearily waiting in vain to be used

Bottles of wine in the half-empty rack

Patiently wait for the corkscrew’s attack

 

Deafened by silence that echoes so loud

Switch on some music from up in the cloud

Linked from the laptop still on from last night

Now I can settle, I’m ready to write
