Mundane Matters

Why do people text while they move?

A dangerous thing this will prove.

With swerving away

From where they should stay

These people will end their own groove.

Peering down at the straggly carpet

I see multitudes of inchoate forms.

My extreme shock makes me about to sweat

Till I realize what are these things like worms.

They cover bits of our house in shadow

and traverse through the playful cat's dark throat.

Off our bouncing heads they normally flow

In all the colors of a lively moat.

They shield the cover of our thinking caps

and tell personality through style.

However, they can clog the vacuum flaps

when ridding our living of smelly bile.

If you didn't know first, now you should see

I'm describing hairballs' diversity.
