Out of Place

How many items have fallen through the cracks?

Unnoticed

Hidden among chaos

A mess of schedules and unused belongings

Hoarding causes confusion and bewilderment

As if we’ve lost recently purchased, precious gems or even old friends

Yet we fail to recognize misplaced files

Letters sent to wrong addresses

Texts from blocked numbers

Objects slipped under surfaces

Ideas buried beneath logistics

The most important becomes a to-be replaced

It could be a single shoe, a jewel, or even a once memorized face
