laundry

mountains one yard wide
lying atop my bed
keeping up with laundry
causes buzzing in my head

it is never finished
will I ever catch up?
as soon as one load's done
there's another pileup

it is never enough
no matter how often I run
the washer; I can never
truly say I'm done

one mound leads to another
they keep tossing more stuff in
and then it needs to be folded-
oh will it never end?

as for putting it all away-
it may or may not make it-
when it's time to get dressed,
they just take it from the basket
