Fold

Laundry day again:
once more I am defeated
by the fitted sheet.

Huswifery

Laundry and dishes:
Both of them pile up; at least,
You can’t break laundry.

Chinese Laundry

Asian shirts with pretend
Italian labels leave me
Disoriented.

Fitted

Bed-laundering day:
Eternal enigma of—
Origami sheet.

Cycles

Un-hampered, soiled wash
Gets loaded, swished, swirled, then spun—
New heap just begun.
