Every Day Is Laundry Day
By Athene Knüfer
people have designated
laundry days
I discovered this last year
whilst still consumed with angst
of treading a path sans compagnon
people have designated
laundry days
and I imagine them
holding baskets of stuff
with additional arms
crafted in Vishnu’s image
people have designated
laundry days
and TikTok tells me all about
body doubling
people have designated
laundry days
but instead of a body doubled
I have a body halved
people have designated
laundry days
and I wonder when those begin
and when they end
