of a mother doing 
laundry
while her children
play house.

Drove my mother around the bend

As the washing went round and rotated
She sat on the top and gyrated
When the spinner begun
She said “this is fun”
And finished her laundry elated

Glimpse Of Laundry Hanging On Balcony

A scrubbing time's piece
From dark cloth and pillow hugs,
Well manners bleached on
Smudge, gone moments by light that
A blotchy face remembers.

I
hate
laundry,
washing up,
ironing, dusting,
fixing stuff - and any
kind of household work.
The logical conclusion Is that 
I must be descended from royalty

Deja Vu

While speaking on the phone
She said
I’m having a Deja vu
Of talking to you and doing laundry
I replied
What kind of Deja vu
She said
Of talking to you and doing laundry

Cosmic Ironing

in the laundry room of sky
the angels wash
the cloths of heaven
hang them on the clouds to dry
and then begin
their cosmic ironing

Premium Member The Poet's Laundry

(For Naomi)


She is brave
enough
to hang out her words
on the line
long past
the last fluttering square inch
is dry
and the neighbor’s
have closed their blinds.

Haven't been down there in over a score

Louder now with a bam
Open the door attacked by laundry galore

I am not being good to myself

I am not being good to myself
I must admit
Today
Again I wet my bed
And I was up at 3 am
I have to do laundry again
That is insane
I am spending lots of money
When I do my laundry

Stevie is no aberration
Many spoiled forty-year-old men
Now live in mama’s basement
Playing video games all night
Sleeping all day while mama does their laundry
And makes their meals

Premium Member Please Yourself Queen

Joyce was the original queen of please yourself.
No man could ever park her on a laundry shelf.
She did not need approval from any other.
She had been raised by a super confident mother.
