“Getting Ready to Get Ready”

Knolls of clothing dot the rug, a

Rainbow of empty plastic hangers

Sway with every pass.  Hot rollers

Get a little hotter, round and rectangle

Compacts litter the counter, waiting to

Give her a face to face the world. 

She picks up things and puts them down,

Making decisions and easily changing her

Mind.  A timid little queen of a tiny kingdom,

Running her life within the walls of her

Walk-In, avoiding the subjection that waits

Outside the closet door.
