I am as I always have been; Here, just never present. Easier that way, For us all, preferable even. Certainly tidier. Clean your mess up! you tell me. I've tried I'll try again I pick up the duster I open the curtains But the light creeps in When I don't want it there at all And when I don't come home for a while And when I don't ever leave The dust finds a way back to it's favourite resting spots. Clean it yourself! If you would want it clean. I wouldn't let you though. For your benefit, my sweet. I'm protecting you from all kinds of spiders.

Cleaning
