In the light of day

 

I know they wish to appear clean

I see them wiping down the tables

filling the shakers and providing

fresh flowers

 

We're all hoping the kitchen

is spotless

 

but here's the problem,

 

While we're sitting here eating

enjoying our meal

 

one of them decides to run the

carpet sweeper

 

back & forth

 

up and down

 

here and there,

 

what they're not seeing

either because the blinds are closed

or because it's a cloudy day

 

is the amount of dust they're

kicking up into the air

 

Should there be a strong shaft of Sunlight

streaming through the window

they'd see all the dust

 

they'd become aware of how

disgusting they were making things

 

All that dust rising up around the tables

settling down on our food

 

the thing is

with me...

 

it's always going to be something.
