Day 19: while you were sleeping

Punch a Nazi today and urge your local university to divest in fossil fuels

While you were sleeping
I alphabetized your spice cabinet
Put the cardamom before the cinnamon
The thyme before the turmeric

While you were sleeping
I swept your hardwood stairs
Brought the dust from top to bottom
Collected your cat hair and herded the dust mites into the dust pan

While you were sleeping
I took out the trash
Cooked you breakfast
Made your bed (with you in it)
Fed your cat
Vacuumed the rug lying in your living room
Replaced the rotting tiles in your roof
Planted a garden in your yard (daffodils and lavender)
Shoveled the snow in your driveway
Raked the leaves from your yards

While you were sleeping
I looked for the words to say
"I love you"
