Storage

The latch drops like a jaw.

Manuals, a plastic pen,

a handful of fuses

like colorful, tiny teeth.


I dig for the registration

and find a receipt from June,

curled and sticky with

a ghost of a spilled soda.


A dried-out wet wipe

in a silver packet.

Still in the corner.

Unlike the person who put it there.
