Weekend Dolls

Two days of the week I’m Marylyn Monroe.
One for up,one for down, one for gettin’ low.

I need to manage unpredictable days.
It keeps the rest locked in predictable ways.

There’s want & there’s need; but only one’s vital.
I need routine & it’s rigid recital.

I thrive on the structure & live in the deed.
It’s when there’s no work that my track goes to seed.

So, though I resent this, my infrequent dose.
I’m glad of the steadiness that it evokes.
