Ellie’s Laundry
No wonder we call it
the “watching” machine.
Soap suds soap suds, tumble
and whoosh. Baby drops her
bottle and stares. At the
porthole to the cleansing storm,
she is safe and delighted.
No more bassinette on
the dryer for her. And now, another rinse
cycle! Dancing with the
extra spin, the whine winds
down, ever so slowly. Time for a nap, now
on the old clothesline.
