trash on thursdays

lock up
before you leave,
turn the lights
off.
put a bowl
of water out
for the dog.
some food
on the counter
for the cat.
put the frozen
chicken
in the sink.
water
the plants,
set the alarm.
this is the note
I would have
left you
had you told
me you were
leaving, but
you didn't,
instead,
as always,
you left
everything
as it is, except
for taking
the trash out.
thanks, but
who leaves someone
on a Thursday?
