Junk In My Trunk

Junk In My Trunk

By Maureen Ucles

I've got too much junk
hiding, whispering, piling
in my trunk


It's immense
and it doesn't 
make any, any sense
why I have
so much
junk in 
my trunk

Kitchen sink?
It just might be found
maybe it's below
the mountains of books, books, books
Here's a tip:
just look for porcelain
and something 
round
The kitchen sink
is bound to be found

There are books
of course
books and more books
pens, pencils, markers
dry erase too
Who knows what you'll find?
In my trunk, trunk, trunk

You can find 
picture books of
Gary Soto
Shel Silverstein
Chapter books or novels 
including
Louis Sacher
Donald Graves
Pam Munoz Ryan
even
Ida B
others
I dunno
I just can't see
where they are hiding
where they might
actually be


I am 
sorry to say
an
undeniable
book hoarder
need help
in the worst way

magazines 
are included
books galore
from Gretchen Bernabei
Barry Lane
Dr. Jac
Ralph Fletcher and his Marshfield Dreams
To Knucklehead
Knuffle Bunny
and
Lamar
Too many to think of
too many to include
 instead of motor oil
paper journals and any text
will exude
pulp perfumes
and canvases true



My poor trunk 
suffers daily
from congestion
congestion
congestion 
tight
tight
spaces


My trunk?
Ipevo
Ipods
Earbuds
with tripods
 tiny and 
tripods tall
A Yeti Mic
popper snapper 
and some
a foldable, moldable
bike
A bike really?
Yea its far, far back
next to
my daughter's 
purse and back pack


Where did I put.....?
The trunk
the trunk
with the most junk
in 
Cypress
Cypress, Texas
