before eight a.m.

on a rare saturday morning
there is a burst
of energy, coffee induced
as well as a good nights sleep.
but off go the sheets,
the towels in the wash,
the dishwasher,
the quiet Bosch churning.
another cup of joe.
then there's messages to
tend to on the phone,
on the machine.
dusting, vacuuming.
hanging the new picture,
adjusting it so.
clutter arranged,
trash collected, bagged
for the next day.
stacking books, a new liner
for the shower.
more coffee, the sun hardly
up. now what?
