Is It Too Soon To Give Up?

DAILY SNACK

We get the house

In two weeks.

We move in a month.

Between now and then is a mountain,

A seemingly unsurmountable mountain,

Of fixing and painting and grouting,

Of deep cleaning,

Of purging and organizing,

Of packing.

So far,

Colum chose a box in which to pack his cars and trucks,

And then decided he’d rather have them to play with for the next few weeks.
