The cleaning lady
cancels and I have
to scramble to find
a replacement. Talk
about first world problems.
but it creates division
in the household,
increases the already
dysfunctional tension
among people barely
speaking to each other.
But this new lady
comes through and
the house is clean
once again. There is
still tension but it's
not the kind that will
land us on the evening
news, more of a low
thrumming pulse that
makes us vaguely unhappy
and takes years off our life.
The bottom line, though,
is that, for now,
I've put out one more
fire. As Bukowski
once said, all gifts
need to be earned
and re-earned.
