Analysis of A State of Disarray
Boiling water cascading down the sides of the silver pot
Clothes thrown all over the bedroom floor
Toothpaste exploded in sink
Sheets all rumpled
Cushions upturned on the sofa
Computer left on
Printer beeping to be fed more paper
Woman hurries out the door
Wearing her non-matching shoes
And two curlers left in her hair
