Death and Taxes

you are the tide that ebbs and flows
you are the ocean made out of clothes
...
cotton, linen, polyester
dry clean only woolen sweater
...
plaid and dots
blue and green
a pre-soak in oxyclean
...
sort the colors
wash in cold
empty lint traps
and then fold
...
into the basket to be put away
maybe tomorrow
or another day
...
not rocket science or math equations
only ironed for special occasions
...
you are not my love
yet companion are thee
you are my constant
the laundry and me

I'm listening to the lovely whirr of the spin cycle as we speak.
