the art of washing clothes

we were different.
she
separated her clothes.
used bleach
and sensitive detergents.
the darks and whites
were washed
separately.
when the beep said
the dryer was done,
she folded them while
warm,
placing them neatly
into a basket
then took them to their
designated bureau
drawer homes.
as for me.
a week might go by
before
i went back down to find
something to wear,
tossing them
all into a basket.
sorting until the right
shirt was found.
surprised by pockets
with money still there.
