is louder than the washing machine
They are engaged
in an industrious duet
Their rhythm is suggestive
of riding on a train
dancing down the slightly swaying cars
The washing machine
is using hot for cold
to the detriment of all our woolen socks
The dishwasher sounds
as if something came loose
and is flailing around in the slosh
I’m grateful to the one
who will give them their adjustments
so they can faithfully perform their tasks
They both are doing work
I’m glad to let them do,
so I will not complain about their music.
