Then So Be They

If my hands are to wash all of our dishes,
then washing dishes be they.

If my shoulders are to carry all of our bags
with variant shapes and kilograms of contents,
then carrying bags be they.

If my eyea are to read for us every book on our shelves
and my mouth is to tell you every story they possess
and to elaborate to you every meaning they express
then reading books and telling stories be they.

For it seems to me that
washing your own dishes and
carrying your own bags and
reading your own books
will cost you one life-full of time.
