laundry

sometimes
i'll sneak up into the closet
and hang clothes
blissfully alone
like rapunzel in her prince's tower
rescued
and hiding
from castle vermin below.

until the floor creaks.

that's when
i'll creep down to the basement
and fold clothes
stealthily alone
like castle vermin
listening to
and toiling for
those princes traipsing overhead.
