Overwhelmed By Brutal Workday

lay clothes fall, hit the bedroom floor,
as do those indentured servants bound to my chest.
yawning tears puddle, blur optical lenses,
amble senselessly toward the cookies and chips.
denial as blinds open and close near tv set.
chills before wine sets in and cozy socks settle the argument.

Great lines, especially 'indentured servants' and 'cozy socks settle the argument' - sounds like the best way to end the day!
