i am not of a mind,
to be inspired today.
i have read much,
of love and beauty,
but it...holds no sway


my mind dwells,
in the realm,
practical things.
like a housekeeper,
with a list of chores
she must bring,
to a close before,
picking up her paycheck
and easing into,
her comfortable clothes..

so, squat and stolid,
my mind works, hard,
throughout this long
and dreary day.
cleaning windows,
dusting souls.
vaccumming carpets
and scrubbing hearts.
then, packing,
the washing machine,
with ***** thoughts
and besmirched linen...
that needs sometime
to dry out,
in the bright shining sun.

i am not of a mind,
to be inspired today...
i may, just slumber on
til,
the housekeeper,
is done.
