Bucket in Hand and Hours to Go
Mom’s on the Job
by Marilyn Wolf
 
I’ve been cleaning the rental house all day
so we can get our deposit back.
(No remarks, Dear Readers 😉.
She had to go to work so I’m here alone.)
 
Our names are on the lease,
though there have been several other residents come/go
through the year.
One Mom cleaned ONLY her son’s bedroom today.
Whut: he didn’t walk through the rest of the house?
 
We’re the only ones here cleaning.
I’m tired, dirty, stinky, and in a bad mood.
It’s 10 o’clock at night;
I have a 3-hour drive home.
I have to shower before I go to bed
Then get up at 5 for work.
Maybe I won’t bother sleeping…
 
College:
It’s an education for the parents, too.
