Daydreaming and Dishes

To write a song.

I have to be famous.

But first I have to start a band.

And learn to write music.

But I don’t have friends.

I don’t have anyone.

I don’t have anyone who would want to start a band with me.

I’m listening to my favorite song right now.

Daydreaming and it’s a horrible, sad daydream.

I’m doing the dishes.

But the soap bubbles are popping.

My hands are wrinkly from water or maybe age.

The water is cold.

My thoughts are cold.

I drain the water and refill the basin.

With no music. No favorite song.

In silence,

I can get everything done.
