Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Housework Never Begun

There is a teensy tiny bit of hope in the recesses of my mind
That this house will clean itself. 
That I will wake up and it will be done.
The pages and piles and boxes and bags will 
Have miraculously disappeared overnight.

There is another part of me that 
Simply does not care.
I will tap into that part today.
It is a Saturday, my day off.
More snow tonight. Makes sense.
We just paid to have the snow removed from the driveway.
