MAINTENANCE

           
   
    I have to brush and floss and
    clip each nail,
    take aspirin, vitamins
    to ward off ills,
    clear gutters,
    flip the mattress,
    sort my mail.
    I can't forget
    to pay the rent and bills.
    It's time to change the oil,
    inflate my tires.
    There's laundry,
    windows, dust,
    electric wires and cords to check,
    shampoo and trim my hair.
    These tasks
    when done
    all build my self-esteem.
    Self-care's the price you pay
    for being free.
    These make me fit
    to function in a team
    and no one else can do them,
    only me.
    I know if I don't start
    these things today,
    tomorrow I will
    pay and pay and pay.
