I woke up this morning with a clothespin in my bed

I woke up this morning
with a clothespin in my bed.
The sun was more or less up,
But I rolled over away from the light.

I stretched my legs across the mattress
seeking comfort, but my toe discovered something
tucked beneath the bottom sheet.
A clothespin.

How could this be?
Hadn’t I dried these sheets in a dryer,
not on a line?

It was nice having a clothespin from fresh clean sheets
in bed with me.

And when I pulled the bed apart for the night,
There was a TV remote.
How can this be?
