Poetry: Dreams & hope

I do

I don't know if I'll get up tomorrow;
but if I get up, it's historical;
I'll be freely peeling, potatoes; cutting on-
ions and garlic; slicing tomatoes; con-
cisely. I don't know if I'll see the dawn aglow,
tomorrow; if I do, I'll wash my clothing,
my children's practical clothing, my husband's laundry;
drying my clothes, washing the bath, relaxing, in
bubbles of lavender soak, double the feel;
tidy up paper collections, classified;
putting my books in the luggage, in nooks; cleaning the
tables. I'll mop my kitchen; properly; cleaning the
toilet. Watch television with my mama;
hoping to avoid mistime, before my time.
