Boxes, and boxes, of beads
little compartments, separated by color, by size,
the charms in one, the tiger’s eye another
pearls, glass, swirls and balls,
Like feminine tackle boxes,
to catch far different fish
organized, far more
than my toolbox mound
in a pile in the basement
A sale at Michaels,
a coupon to AC Moore
More earrings, bookmarks,
jewelry galore
