Would you believe me if I told you my maiden name was Coffee?
And I leave too many mugs on the bathroom counter.
And I traveled across lands to take a new job
And sometimes I shed too much hair and need to sweep up the floor
But cleaning small spaces like toilets
and tile
Is a job I find most rewarding
To clean what is dirty
To repair what is broken
To continue to pour two many cups of liqueur.
Would you believe me if I told you I grew from a bean
And sprouted into something more
Changing shape with each container I hold
Solid then liquid
Solid then liquid
Today a bean
Tomorrow a tulip
Solid then liquid
On the bathroom floor.
