2002/dog

9:21 a.m.
After tidying up,
putting kitchari
and basmati on
to cook,
clothes in to dry.
I sit down for my
second cup
of green tea.
Tired already,
or not quite started
yet,
my daughter’s
little dog,
curled up on my lap.
She has been working
me for treats,
I tell her I’ve been
worked before
by the best,
her mom.
