Quote #10
While I washed up dinner dishes in the pan, / the wind came from the west, / bringing – / dust. / I'd just stripped all the gummed tape from the / windows. / Now I've got dust all over the clean dishes. / I can hardly make myself / get started cleaning again. (92.1-2)
Raise your hand if you like washing dishes. Yeah… That's what we thought. If you think it's bad under normal circumstances though, just imagine being in Billie Jo's position. The unpredictability of the dust adds to the suffering it inflicts, so even the simplest tasks suddenly become overwhelming.
