Roomba-Rhumba Miracle

On days like these 
When I can’t piece
Myself together
I let go:

I cannot agonise
About the unswept floors
And unwashed clothes
Escaping from the laundry basket

Instead, I do my hair
(It’s called self-care)
And put some music on:
Maybe I dance the Rhumba

And as I leave the house 
I know that Roomba
Is doing for me
The things that I 
Cannot do for myself:

It’s called ‘technology’
Though I call it a miracle.
