day NINE HUNDRED and SEVENTY FOUR


Magical, he called it

There was a story
that went around online
about a couple
who had a soap
dispenser installed
on the edge of their
kitchen sink
and after two 
years they moved out
of the apartment
and the husband
marveled
about how the soap
dispenser
never ran out of soap

Magical, he called it

and I wonder sometimes
if she has finally
left him

If she went as invisible
as her work went

If she sat down
(broke down)
sat down and let herself
just be finished.
