Sitting in the front room of my apartment in my raggedy underwear
With the outside light dimming and hope also dimming that the accomplishments-expectations of the day will be met
You have tomorrow
A voice of optimism and sanity speaks
And so many good things happened today
It is a cheery reminding voice/It is your truest voice
And five minutes can make an enormous difference
I open the dryer door and move the clothing to the foot of my bed in three goes in less than five minutes
And now the inertia is broken and you are free
I fold the laundry and put it away and put on some of the clothing
Find my fitness watch and strap it on
Fish out socks and pick up shoes
Look at my goofy hair in the mirror and shrug
Open the door into the non-apartment world
Springy steps
Tuneful heart
