18 Apr: "White Towels" by Richard Jones

WHITE TOWELS

I have been studying the difference
between solitude and loneliness,
telling the story of my life
to the clean white towels taken warm from the dryer.
I carry them through the house
as though they were my children
asleep in my arms.

  1. Short and sweet. Solitude is awesome but loneliness is devastating.

    The towels are taking of the place of children which seems a bit abnormal. Where is the human family? Are they gone? Studying and storytelling are positive but the towels- Is that a sign of solitude or loneliness? Is it a healthy or tormenting activity
