Day 189: Give Me Your Real

September 29, 2020
Day 189

Give me your real, your unfiltered kitchens, your piles of dishes, your unfolded laundry, your bickering kids, your untidy bathrooms, your crispers with the rotting cucumbers, your junk drawers, your discarded batteries, your freezer burn, your last straw, your best guess, your mystery keys, your unmade bed, your unread books, your expired vitamins, your wilting houseplants, your unswept floors, your unanswered emails. Give me your unpaid bills and papers to sort, your last-gasp bananas, your unwashed dog bowls, your cranky, your tired, your blinking gas light, your weary head. If just for tonight, give it all.
