Every Morning the Dishes Get Washed
and again
the carrying on
the kitchen
arguments
the marmalade discontents
smeared bravo sinkside
the dishes
clatter vexation
with soapsuds
gone stone cold
the breakfast stragglers regroup
in stacks on shelves. Peace.

I think they’re rowdier at night.
In our house often the breakfast dishes mix in with the crowd from the evening before who’ve been up all night partying
Oh, got it!😏
This makes me think of the “Be Our Guest” scene in Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and what all of those anthropomorphic kitchen and dining items get up to after the feast.
Thank you. I always loved that scene.
