Laundry day

I check my calendar and take a deep sigh of relief.
I see the miracle and suddenly, I'm superhuman.
It's laundry day. Let's waste no time here anymore,
I say to myself as I jump out of bed. There's a new
Spring in my step, I notice. I'll have it checked soon.
I probably put too much oil in it last time, I speculate,
And to that, I grimace at how rusty I've become with
My measurements of needs. Maybe, I'll have some of
Those tweaked out, too, into some god or hierarchy.
Either way, I'm sure I'll work just fine. I'm sure of it.
That's what I say to myself as I huff some strength
Into my chest and lift my head up, right off my body.
My eyes narrow, thin as matches, tempted to strike
One through the worn and torn curves of my brain
And let the fire sear each dry strand of my hair, having
God's work cut out for Him. I hold my head in my
Hands, stretched out and tilted in disbelief at how
No angles could ever save its beauty's final breaths.
I brush the loose strands and pesky wisps out of
A face that once bore bountiful tellings of life.

Being dead is no different from being ugly, I conclude.

I toss my head into my trusted washing machine,
Setting it on a whirl. When I am certain that its nuts
And bolts are busy enough to drown out my voice,
My judgement treads on thin ice, grumbling,

"I don't trust you." My mind is soon cleared.
