Everything and the Kitchen Sink

The dishes stare at me from the sink

Told me I don’t pay them enough attention

But I need to prioritize my cardio

Washing dishes is not active enough

I owe the gym a visit

But it doesn’t pay the bills

It only fuels my body not my soul

I should write

But it doesn’t pay the bills

It only fuels my soul not my body

I have to get to work

It pays the bills

But it doesn’t fuel my body 

Or my soul

I am a soul

In a body

That I would rather call 

A temple

I forgot to pray

My spirit shouts at me

To open up my Bible

But mama is calling

I should answer every time

She calls

One day 

She won’t

One day 

She’ll want grandkids

I have no ring on my finger

I need to tell someone “I love you”

But I want to mean it

The way I do

When I tell my homegirls

It’s been too long 

Since I’ve seen them

They don’t know I changed my hair

I should send a picture

But there is a number 

In red next to

The message app

That is higher than it was

Yesterday

I admit I saw the message

I will respond to your text

But first 

I have to do the dishes

All the forks are dirty
