Junk Drawer

Three throwing
knives
underneath a tangled ball
of stereo cords
next to a deck
of playing cards
beside a deodorant stick
sitting around half a dozen
red pens
resting near a few old toys
laying by a plastic bag
filled with paper clips
and safety pins
touching a key ring
full of spares
a few inches away from
an empty watch case
by a tray of belt buckles
next to a pair of sun glasses
that surround a half empty bottle
of pills
near a set of headphones
close to an ashtray.
