This poem makes me think of one of those stereotypical crazy ladies who hasn't changed clothes or washed the hand they touched their dream husband with since prom of their senior year. I don't really know if you know the kind of lady I'm talking about but its more or less a crazy cat lady. I especially get this kind of vibe when the speaker talks about the "unsorted wash" on the other side of the bed. This really gives me the image of the crazy lady who doesn't leave the house. In line 27 the word "Goodwill" is capitalized. I'm not really sure if this has any significance but this isn't an Emily Dickinson poem and its the only random word capitalized so it must have some sort of significance.
