Bless the tote bag that says Sweden: Land of Crystal

Bless the rough red of the cover of my Webster’s

Bless the lamp that turns on when you tap the base

Bless my desk chair when it creaks like a haunted house

Bless the coils on the stove

Bless the spongy pink rollers that make my straight hair curly

Bless the paperclips and thumb tacks, the rubber bands and clothespins, the twist-ties and staples, the tape and the glue

Bless the broom
