Styrofoam, tenacious foe
Loosened on this mortal coil
of kitchen table, limb and lash
ever-clinging static ash,
ever-clinging bead and sphere
I brush away, but you adhere
From fingertips to fingertips
My polystyrene nemesis
Thank you and goodnight.

Whenever Laurie sees styrofoam now she smiles and chuckles.
