I Don't Have a Maid

There’s a time

when reality hits

It shows me

that though I live

in two worlds

real and literary

I must take care

of the real

take care of and clean my house

eat with my husband and do the dishes

work my full time job

and also write my brains out

I wish I could just write and write and write

to the exclusion of everything else

but alas doing that

is not any fun when stress comes

I don’t like living in a mess

I guess I do have to live in reality

I don’t have a maid but I will survive
