From a prompt – Odds and Ends

A popular TV therapist said you need to organize

your life, and diagnosed After COVID Clinical Depression–

advised you to clear out your closets,

take bags of clothes and old furniture to Goodwill,

deep clean the refrigerator, kitchen, and garage,

discard your old meds and all the bottles of cologne

you received as gifts that you hate and never use.

Because you cannot spell miscellaneous, and

mishmash and hodgepodge does not roll off your tongue

so you decide the phrase Odds and Ends will have to do,

and dump the junk drawer out on the table.

There is no manual that explains the difference

between an Odd and an End, or which one belongs

in the back of the drawer. You slide deeper

and deeper into depression and hope

next week Frasier Crane has an answer.
