I just completed all the laundry but there’s more here in the bin!

How the heck do these people do it- wearing clothes should be a sin.

Thanks are what they say,

But what I really want is pay…

Am I doing the neighbor's laundry too- it’s piled up again.

About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)
