Day 26: “Laundry”
The laundry pile grows
I move it out in the open
so I have to stare it down as I go through my day
Who will win the staring contest?
The stubborn adult
or the ever-growing, ever-flowing
pile of clothes
The desire for clean sheets almost forces me to retire
Then I remember
to check the linen closet
I make my bed and look to the pile as if to say,
“Your move.”
