Found the quarters for the laundry Counted them by loads
We have enough for eight
You picked me up and counted me by mistakes I weighed a ton but we carried it together after we exchanged numbers
I did the laundry And week after week Again and again until we had enough quarters for one last load And I washed the bed sheets Figured we could take all our ***** clothes off and lie in the clean there Because it's nice to have a clean house
We have a clean house When I can't sleep I scrub the tiles Until they're bright like the rising sun reminding me I should have been sleeping It's okay though You're asleep and can't tell you're alone I ask myself while making coffee If you know I've got bags underneath my eyes And the floor is cleaner and cleaner every passing night And the smell of bleach resonates off the square white tiles You continue to wake and just smile Smile Just smile Look at me And smile Like the world is smooth And runs on smiles My insides mock fire "Are you tired?" "No I'm just wired, drank too much coffee I'm not tired." You know And I know you know I guess you're happy with the clean floors and extra space in the bed so you don't have to worry about rolling over at night or kicking me
I write good poems about laundry. This is an older one.
