TALES FOR THE DECENT MAN
translated from polish by M.Lober

She
had the job you can’t see She never got the Nobel Prize the Oscar nor the Pulitzer She didn’t even aspire for Guinness Record Book She got up early morning she toasted it she spread it she served it she started the washing machine she closed the door she went to the bathroom she made bed she cleaned the room and hallway too she did the dishes she aired the house She took it out she folded it she moved it she opened it she put it away she closed it she cooked it she chopped it She didn’t make a call cause she vacuumed she didn’t cry cause she had to go She shopped she carried she brought in so at four pm she could welcome serve and finally at eight pm sit down and hear familiar snoring of the one who also didn’t bring home the Oscar nor the Nobel Prize nor the Pulitzer but full of success he went to bed tiered with her endless efforts which he didn’t notice She noticed him smiling in his dreams Did she cry Can’t tell for sure Nobody seen it.
