I think what I need is hidden somewhere
In a corner of my home, but I cannot spare
Enough time to try to find it, it is possible indeed
That I actually do not have at home what I need
So I just order the required stuff online
It takes one click, the app is designed
To make online ordering completely painless
It saves me precious time, I confess
Usually I have my merchandise
At my doorstep sooner than I realize
*
The stuff I’ve ordered gets used a few times and is banished subsequently
To a cavernous corner of my home, and I do not see
That object for several months and even years
Into the cache of forgotten stuff it disappears
This cycle continues, and eventually I acquire
Several copies of the stuff that I require
*
One rare day, to declutter I decide
As I empty from closets things hidden inside
I find duplicates of stuff ordered over the years
My consumerism is wasteful, it is clear
I keep buying more instead of looking after my possessions
I seem to have less time and more disposable income, in true confession
I am partly responsible for the landfills filling up fast
With non-biodegradable stuff that for centuries will last
*
I must learn to keep my stuff organized
I must take care of my possessions prized
Let this be my cue to declutter today
Let me trim the excess away
