25 in Quarters

VIII 1998 (Alaska)

Free verse
There is something therapeutic about a laundry mat on Sunday.

Everyone washing, drying,

Quiet literally airing out their dirty laundry.

You see people from work,
Children running umuck,
Chatter of the up coming weeks plans

There's something therapeutic about the laundry mat on Sunday

Because we are all here on the Lords day.

A day restricted for no work,
Only play and worship.

There's something therapeutic about the laundry mat on Sunday
Because we're all sinners, airing out our dirty laundry.
