Jets of water rumble through the dishwasher..
a zipper goes click clack in the dryer….
Kitchen counters glisten…
Stacks of papers graded…
Lesson plans made…
Yet-
Empty washing machine cries out to be fed…
Broom sits lonely in the corner…
Dog eared book longs to be read…
Next day's lunch unmade…
All energy fled

It is 11 pm again.
