Washing Instructions
Put the clothes in the washer.
not quickly, but slowly.
There was a day,
this would all be done,
by hand.
Four or five large things,
Maybe some socks,
a few,
overload,
and the cost will be high.
Why I am bothering?
Why you might ask?
Generalization…
leads to soap
and disaster.
The mechanic is expensive,
a new machine is worse.
Getting by on nothing,
is important,
when choices,
are none.
Stuffing everything in,
no thought for next week,
when there is no more,
handy helper at the door.
Broken into little pieces,
costing more than can be paid.
Hand washing everything,
a consequence of learning,
to read; instructions.
