doing dishes

This was inspired by a friend, a much older woman, who had endured a fifty year marriage. She had a bit of a temper, and there were just times...well, when she found it extremely helpful to hurl a dish against the stone wall of her little house. She told me that she'd buy cheap plates at the thrift store, just to have them on hand for this purpose so she wouldn't have to waste her good ones.

go break a dish

go throw a dish

against the wall

and let it shower

you in a satisfying

barrage of destruction

you can't take your life

(or your marriage)

and hurl it with all

your might

against a wall

or throw it over a cliff

or put it down the garbage disposal

so, go throw a dish

or two or three

or more

and enjoy what you can...
