Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning





I finished cleaning the attic

But I forgot the basement

How it holds mildew and muck

And keeps you at bay

Never minding

the matters below

until they infect a wound

And bring a pain

Only known by friends

Betrayed by strangers

Calling themselves

Friends.
