Today XIV
Today,
he started the day
playing ball...
- Cut the grass!... Almost, a foot long!
- Ok...
- Do the laundry!... Three baskets full!
- Ok...
- And, the dishes, damn it! The dishes!... And, groceries!...
- Ok! Ok!... I'll finish my coffee and I will!...
Today,
he gets his butt off the couch
and confronts himself:
- Stop telling me to do today
what I can do tomorrow!...
