Wonderful wording. Soap and wash and the language blurted from the box. And your title slips nicely in when I go back and read it again. Maureen have you ever read a poet on this site named Elsa Rosee? I believe I've spelled the name correctly. This is my weekend and though I spend a lot of time on line with mi Musa I am spending more time reading your and Elsa's poetry. Humbly standing before there.

Ain't that the truth. Soap and mops for all. I hate soapboxes and megaphones. Too loud and above for real, level communication.

Yuppers. An elevated one way highway is not conducive to grounded two way communication. This was a cathartic exercise :)
