Maybe if you move it around

Let the light in and put the chair in the corner

If you get the books just so

And the pieces of paper all elegantly organized

It is those peculiar particulars’

That you notice when everything else

Slips out of place

So you control what you can

Using coasters and color coding your coffee cups

The ironing gets done

All those things you left leaning

Get hung

Straightening the small makes the substantial

Shrink down into the top drawer

Next to your bed

You can take it out casually to use as a book mark

And remember where you’ve been
