Mrs. Moffat
She’s out there early with her rubber gloves
and Comet cleanser, scowling at the smudge
or speck she may have overlooked last time.
I wonder whether Mrs. Moffat loves
the dull endeavors of the household drudge
or simply hates the mere idea of grime.
The mailman and the paperboy are wary
of Mrs. Moffat. Children think she’s scary.
She scours her front porch steps and even sweeps
the little swath of dirt that runs between
the sidewalk and the curb; and though she keeps
her panes impeccable, her storm door clean,
who’s to know if Mrs. Moffat weeps
when no one rings her bell on Halloween.
