Dish washing philosophy

inspiration can come from such unexpected places

they say time is just a concept

we established to organize

the so many whereabouts

of our daily life

yet I keep seeing it

defining the majority of things

for an abstract idea

it sure knows how to fit in

I look to my sink

It's an ordinary day

and so accordingly

a few plates await

some just arrived

those I wash with ease

a mere squeeze of water

is able to do the trick

now the ones

in line for a while

they'll require an approach

a little more versatile

the dirt in it 

has found its roots

making the dishes' clean state

harder to restitute

in some ways more than others

we're dishes of our own

time as a nurturing mother

feeds the troubles we stumble upon

and the longer we choose to ignore

that's a temporary privilege

we'll later have to pay for

so do your dishes as they come

and maybe 

if you're lucky

you won't have to scrub for long
