Start the washer, walk away
Find a comfort movie, press replay
Pretend to watch, doomscroll instead
Wait, did I put the groceries away?
At the store before---grab my list
Eggs, bread---you get the gist
Need to draft a text to Peter in my head
Last time we talked he seemed pissed
Actually, maybe I made that up
Put it back, don't need another trendy cup
But it would help me to drink more water
Back to the house, let out the pup
Jeans got muddy from my furry friend
That's when I threw them in for a spin
Remember that viral video about that otter?
Looking for it, let the rabbit hole begin
Suddenly I haven't eaten at all
Throw a struggle-meal together or let the chicken thaw?
Open a window, in the wind blows
I'm eating ice cream, first thing that I saw
Midnight already, where have I been?
Must have peed but don't recall when
Wait, oh no, what about the clothes?
Forgot to move them over, start the washer again.
