clean dishes in the washer
dirty sit on the sink next to a bag of recyclables
an empty bottle of wine
a diaper needs changing
three cats need fed
a tiny plastic cow guards the bathroom
couch pillows lie discarded on the floor
crumbs gather on the carpet under the baby's seat
small puddles of mysterious liquid decorate the table
I awake to these things
one by one the chaos becomes order
then back to chaos
plastic blocks line the carpet
new crumbs gather
new spills
a loop
a circle
like everything here
keeps my heart full
