So many bottles
in gift baskets:
body shampoo
lotion
bath oil
bubble bath
body scrub
Why do all these people think I need
so much help to get clean?

poem- dust December 25, 2014
The mantle piece is gathering dust,
as are other ledges,too
The strings are dusty on the harp
the soundboard’s dusty, true.
The floors could use a washing.
Windows want a spotless view,
But what I lack in house keeping
I make up in love for you.

poem- incessant November 10, 2014
Housework:
incessant chore
detracting from fun
and always
always
always
still to do.
But at least
I have
a house.
.

I hate housework. From my messy room as a kid to my messy desks (at home and at work) I epitomize chaos theory. I want to use my time to create, so there is something to show for it. Since housework never ends, one is never satisfied with the task, which inevitably dissolves.
