More: Sweat and Scratches [Poem]


I

Ceramic tiles find me
on hands and knees,
scrubbing before coffee
and consuming calories.

II

Arms covered in scratches,
brow drenched in sweat,
spending the weekend
on chores not over yet.

III

Diet Dr. Pepper is good
when it's nice and cold.
How can the neighborhood 
of noon be so boring and old?

IV

When the day closes,
both cat and human sleep.
Hard work in large doses?
No need to count sheep.
