when dogs run free

when i get home and
find the dog, without
his leash running
free, it makes me
wonder. and
when you don't turn
off the light,
when you leave
a room, or lock
the door, or don't
unplug the tub
now full of cold
grey water, when you
leave the butter
out, or the dishes
in the sink, the
wash left soggy,
not in the dryer,
are you trying
to tell me something.
that you can't finish
what you start.
