Done

I am done scooping goldfish
into tiny tupperware containers
looking for matching blue lids
rinsing lunchboxes and
matching socks.

Done tapdancing for rooms full
of children, making up catchy ways
to remember the difference between
verbs and nouns,
the importance of topic sentences,
transitions and capital letters.

Done with piles of laundry and
thinking about what meat to
pull from the freezer for dinner.
Piles of papers to grade,
thoughtful comments,
kind but firm.
Done with the clarity of my to-do's,
the surrender to details. 
Absolute exhaustion. 

Pull me through these next two weeks.
