Tottering teetering piles

The piles of junk in my house are gobbling me up first a shoe than a foot then a leg. I fear to reach inside the laundry bin to fold some clothing because I may pull back a stump with no hand. The dishes form a teetering pile that I fear to walk near if it crashes on my head I may be gone. But I’ve gotta clean this mess before it blocks the door and no one will ever see me again.
