INVENTORY
watch with leather strap
accumulated sweat
forlorn wireless mouse
color prints of assorted gods
that glow in the dark
incense ash on internet modem
and landline phone
dried sandalwood paste
on genuine silver platter
pretentious books in darkness
above reading neon
imitation colonial education
second grade provincial
bright blue stenographer’s chair
silver bead necklace
I am ashamed to wear
pearl amulet hidden in drawer
with ball-point pens without ink
stink of a rotting pigeon
stuck in window air-conditioning
I mop up
dust from my unfortunate laptop
