The Mess
Don't let the mess
Depress you,
I said.
And don't think you need to impress
Me (or anyone)
With a tidy room
Or a tidy life.
It's OK
To be messy.
And if you have the time
To clear everything away
That's not
Necessarily
A good sign.
The mess is benign.

I've just done that thing where you look too closely at a familiar word and it becomes absurd. Messy, mess, mess, mess, messy mess, messiness. Gahhh!
*Not because I think she's messy! I just like her and I also, separately, like this poem.
