DEAR BELOVED ACROSS THE GLOBE


last night i washed the dishes
hung the clothes
locked the door and turned key
set alarm, brushed my hair
moisturizer, digestives
placed a torch close by
just in case...
cleans sheets and pillow case
the right meds by my bedside
and went to sleep...

and when it dawned
it was saturday
my weekend 
coins of time in my purse
for my spending at will
i dwadle over a cup of coffee
check out why my fingers burn on google
ruminate over a thousand things
run a leisurely bath
and plan my day...

while you, my beloved 
across the globe
wash dishes
hang clothes
lock the door and turn key
set alarm, brush your hair
moisturize, digestives
placed a torch close by
just in case...
cleans sheets and pillow cases
the right meds by your bedside
and go to sleep...

and you and i...
how can we
reconcile our differences
while you sleep Friday night
on my Saturday morning?
