domestic chores

i forgot to separate
the white clothes
from the dark clothes,
okay, i didn't exactly
forget it, i just threw
them all in together,
but hey, i'm not hazel
here. so now i have a
bunch of pink t-shirts
that were formerly white.
and thanks for telling
me about those dust balls
beneath my bed. i just
can't reach them, the
broom is way in the
basement, and the vacuum
won't quite fit under
the frame. and yes,
i know that most
of the condiments
and bottles of salad
dressing have a green
fuzz on them. i'm working
on that. and i plan to
carbon date that roasted
chicken way in the back
near that collapsed orange,
to see if it's sandwich
worthy. whew, i tell you
it's not easy running
a household when
it's only me.
