How to do the dishes

Take the plate in your right hand

left if you're right-handed

notice the remains of sauce and food on its surface

place your sponge in the warm suddsy water

take it out still lovely and dripping warm

and put it onto the plate

then gently but firmly

clean it in a circular fashion

see the dirty dish become clean

sparkling clean

like the first day of existence

smile at its gleaming image

rinse it in beautiful cold clean tap water

and place it on the rack to dry

this is how to do the dishes

no one does it this way

but this is how to live a deep, full life

before we have to die

and we do have to die

so make sure you enjoy doing the dishes

while you have the chance.
