Furball

Every single day without fail,

I come home after dark.

Dragging my feet,

Purse bouncing off the stairs because I'm too tired to actually carry it.

Every single day without fail,

I open the door and it's all still there.

The clumps of fur, staring at me from the floor.

So I grab the broom and start in the far corner.

The same spot takes 5 minutes because the fur balls dance around my fucking broom.

By the time I make my way to the garbage can,

I am so tired that I debate just lying down on the large pile of soft inviting fur.

But I don't.

I scoop it up and toss it out then go to sleep.

When I come home the next day,

Dragging my feet,

Purse bouncing off the stairs because I'm too tired to actually carry it,

I open the door and it's all still there.
