Clark Gormley #26 Domestic Dancing

Put your feet down on the floor.
Stretch your arms above your head.
Have a yawn. You've started the day
doing the domestic dance.

Bend your body at the hips.
Unpack the dishwasher cup by cup.
Reach up and place them in the cupboard.
You're doing the domestic dance.

With your left hand turn the tap.
Fill the kettle with your right.
Switch it on and watch it boil.
You're doing the domestic dance.

Grab the milk with your left hand
and push the fridge closed with your right.
Pour it on your cereal.
You're doing the domestic dance.

Shake it while you chew your oats.
Feel the rhythm of the banal.
Step out the door and greet the day
doing the domestic dance.
