Steph Abbott Says

Sweeping and scrubbing away the past, my spring cleaning has an audience of two. Striving to understand my aggressive stroke, they consider my folly.

“Serene and able lady with your mopping,

Lovingly regard me with compassion free of care.

Bless me so the aims of all my prayers,

This season will follow without dusty obstacles.”

“Yeah, yeah, Tara. She needs dust us more often. I get it,” says Spiderwoman. “But does she have to be so hard on the dust bunnies?!”
