Ideas
Ideas slumber 
 In the strangest of places,
 Under rocks
 In your socks
 Behind your bed 
 Or on your head
 
 Or even
 In that corner
 That is so piled with clothes
 Dust
 Dirt
 And too many other things to count
 That you cannot see the floor
 
 That corner
 Where things disappear
 And never come back
 
 The corner where nobody cares to look
 That is neglected
 Un-cleaned
 Not recognized as part of the house
 
 The corner
 Where you one day put your socks
 And the next day they were gone
 And when you finally found them
 They were covered
 In dust bunnies
 
 The corner where you try
 To leave all your 
 Sadness
 Anger
 Confusion
 So they will not bother you anymore
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Yes,
 That corner
 Which stares at you all day
 Giving you the feeling 
 That someone is watching you
 
 And maybe
 Just maybe
 If you clean up
 Pick up those cloths
 Sweep the dust
 Take out the books
 Papers
 And whatever else there is
 And look at the now shiny
 Clean
 Floor
 
 You might
 Just find
 
 An Idea
