maybe we expected the dishes to be this ***** maybe we demanded of the willpower yanked from the exact place of everything and joined by just our fingernails busy carrying our pails up the hill to fetch a bottle of wine. Only to find ourselves stumbling back up the hill for more.

[maybe we expected the dishes]
maybe we expected the dishes to be this ***** maybe we demanded of the willpower yanked from the exact place of everything and joined by just our fingernails busy carrying our pails up the hill to fetch a bottle of wine. Only to find ourselves stumbling back up the hill for more.
This poem is about the things we do and mistakes we make over and over again even though we may have known they were coming or know of their consequences by using metaphor and an allusion to the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill.
