I think there is more than laundry, there is 'Mistress Quickly',
laundress and so much else. (Merry Wives of Windsor/Shakespeare)
And the stream of streams, the Balcony proved to move thoughts:
"This stream had been the good angel of my thoughts all the day,
keeping them ever moving and ever fresh, cleansing and
burnishing them, quite an open-air laundry of the mind."

Will stares of clothed apparitions last the month?
How transitory are our hopes and fears,
that they need to be wrung out
more frequently than our clothes?
Laundry is a comfort,
if it does nothing but allow time to pass
thoughtfully in the open air.
