ESSENCE 7

Stuff to be ironed
loads of stuff
to be ironed

Sitting there
looking at me
waiting
waiting

Shirt of orange
trouser of linen
tea towel of rough texture

and on the line
another bunch of clothes
to be ironed

but perhaps
when I think about it
that bunch is not so bad:
mostly sheets
and socks and underpants

which do not
need
to be ironed
