Hazel therapy

i like
to clean, especially when i have
something
on my mind
that i can't do anything about.
but i can
scrub the floor,
dust,
pull the vacuum out.
i can
swirl the blue
liquid into
the toilets and flush,
take
a Brillo pad to the tub.
i can pick
up all the clothes i've
left on
the floor
and throw them into
the washer.
i can open
the fridge
and finally scrape free
the remains
of that iceberg
lettuce,
and toss it out.
by the end of the day
i haven't solved a thing,
but for some reason i feel
better.
