Oh, I love Maya Angelou.

Below is my favorite poem by her.

Late October


Carefully
the leaves of autumn
sprinkle down the tinny
sound of little dyings
and skies sated
of ruddy sunsets
of roseate dawns
roil ceaselessly in
cobweb greys and turn
to black
for comfort.
Only lovers
see the fall
a signal end to endings
a gruffish gesture alerting
those who will not be alarmed
that we begin to stop
in order simply
to begin
again.
 
But honestly, it's much much more common for one person to cook and the other person to do the dishes. doesn't matter who cooks or who cleans.
 
This thread looks to have lost its appeal after no new posts for a year and a half, so I'll unstick it.
