Sometimes
doing the same thing every morning is safe and familiar.
Sometimes
saying the same thing every day is like putting on a lead coat.
Sometimes
returning dirty dishes to be rewashed, I wonder, “Is it worth it?”
Sometimes
I am mean and impatient and full of guilt.
Sometimes
I see that I live in great comfort.
Sometimes
I think evil thoughts.
Sometimes
his warm hands on my feet are all I have.
