is my deep depression done when I start to see the dirt
Or overwhelmed by thoughts of cleaning, getting worse.
Keyboard allows ignorance of dust bunny invasions
or arrival of things of the mold and mildew persuasion.
Telling myself stories about people in far-away lands
Keeps me from donning rubber gloves on my hands.
So when I wake up to the filth all around
I just put my head back under the ground.
Teary-ended, tormented, forlorn, and lost
I’d have a maid service, but for the cost.
But then she’d take one look, and utter screams
And, I’d be back to filth and the land of my dreams.

Love the poem, right there with her.
And love the image, what a hoot. 2.5 years of lint. Wow. It’d only take about a month for my house. She must not have a cat!
