Flossing Teeth and Library Books


she roamed the house,
restless, out of sorts, moving
objects from one place to another,
nowhere making sense, finding
overdue library books underneath
a pile of bills, overdue bills.
she got into her car and drove
downtown to the library
and paid the $5.80 in fines,
$3.75 of it due for the short
stories by Truman Capote.
Feeling much better, focused,
goal-oriented, she drove home and
flossed her teeth, the day ending
on a high note.
