it’s just that
the last few days
I’ve been in the spin cycle
fervor, old cotton, a temperature
mixed with all the colors
the last few days
I’ve been in the spin cycle
fervor, old cotton, a temperature
mixed with all the colors
that bleed into static
walled panels and dry humor
walled panels and dry humor
aye, that’s the scrub
balanced on a rusty rotating drum
did you think I would
read the instructions
I never did
no, I never knew exactly what
to hang on a line
or what would be
going to the mattresses
all this longing for
unfolding
though we argued about that from the very beginning
balanced on a rusty rotating drum
did you think I would
read the instructions
I never did
no, I never knew exactly what
to hang on a line
or what would be
going to the mattresses
all this longing for
unfolding
though we argued about that from the very beginning
about all the buildup
to keep the machine going
and whatever kept you
– the exact change,
– the exact change,
timing, water, cycles
always on the other side
of that glass door
always on the other side
of that glass door
