Weekly senselessness

by Bogeyman

The hum of a dishwasher
Full of week-old dishes
Announces that
A day full of senselessness
Has just begun
Next is laundry
That started with a couple of things
A week ago
And grew into a mountain of
Whites
Colors
Cottons
Wools
Blends
All with their own labels with instructions
On how to do it right
Like I have time for this nonsense
Next is a litter box
Making my cat smile
Next is a pile of mail
Trying to understand what is worth keeping
Giving up and throwing everything away
Next is a car
A fertile ground
For multiplying garbage
Much like the house but worse
Next is plants I think I watered already this month
By the time I feed the cat
(Sure he has to shit in fresh litter now)
Take a shower
(Next week’s laundry now)
Eat something
(Next week’s dishes now)
Check the mail box
(Next week’s sorting)
Half a day is gone
Wasted time
Of this
Weekly date with
Senselessness

    Thank you, Harry! Ever read Turgenyev? 19th century Russian writer..... we were taught in high school that nihilism was bad (stupid socialist education), but I knew better. Recipe: 1/3 nihilism, 1/3 fatalism, 1/3 vodka.........beautiful stuff.... lol
