Perfumes of a Summer's Day

As I wash my dirty laundry 
I can see the muggy water 
released from my socks 
I often imagine the possibility
of washing away
every last bad memory
and all the black emotions I keep
inside?
Just imagine for a moment
being left with
the very best of memories
the ones that make us smile
instead of cry?
bright and colorful  
with the
perfumes of a summer’s day?
 
now, wouldn’t that put a new spin
on doing the laundry?
