Expectations

When pots and pans
are your only company
on a dull chilly chilly day
you learn to let go off expectations.

When the scotch brite cleans away dirt
leaving behind a shining utensil
you realize how much toiling
really matters.

So, mindless of endless chatter
that runs more in my head
than in life, I remain entangled
with cleaner, soap and metal!
