CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS

The laundromat I go to
is across the street 
from the bar I go to when 
I go to the laundromat
across the street from
the bar I go to. 

It's a nice laundromat,
full of
lots of 
strange tongues talking
and full of colorful people and
guys I'm glad I'm not
and women I sympathize with
and women I wonder
how they survive.
I like laundromats.
I feel at home there.
I feel like Jesus
wondering what the fuck happened
to my grand design.
