The Man With The Mop

The man with the mop
Waits in the wings
But we do not
Speak of such things.
Tiredness brings us to a stop,
And the man with the mop
Waits, unseen
In the wings
Ready to clean.
But we must
Not speak of dust
Or other such things,
But the man with the mop,
He waits in the wings.

Oh! Don’t we take The Man With The Mop & other “unseen” folks for granted..even if we don’t mean to? Thank you for reminding us of that fact, so beautifully, Kevin.
