The laundry needs doing
by which I mean
there’s washing
and hanging
and clothes to come in
so instead of doing it
I google laundry
discovering
my favourite semiotician
Roalnd Barthes
was hit by a laundry van
and a month later
‘succumbed to his injuries’
and died.
I’m thinking
of doing a PhD about it.
Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the lovely poems.
ReplyDeleteThe one about Frederique makes me feel quite teary.
oh HEH (speaking as someone who processes a horrible lot of laundry personally).
ReplyDeleteAmong several, I love the poem about the endsister. Your children are just scrumptious, they are.
