Window Washing
Every week, I have to clean the grime off my windows.
I get on my crappiest clothes, go out on the ledge,
and wipe the nasty city shit off the glass.
After I am done, I can sit inside and look out my window
and see the grime as it really is outside.
The clear view makes me gloomy.
One of these days I am going to board up those windows
and never look out there again.
