Demise of the Rack

The drying rack met
it’s timely demise
it’s joints and legs
were rusted
there was no more
“hanging” around

17 years is a long time
to weather the sun, sea and air
and endure the hanging of pants
socks and underwear

But laundry waits for no man
and there is a new drying rack
a new snappy shiny affair.

Back to business as usual.
No rust.
Neighbor’s dog still barking.

Hanging out the laundry
feeling the sea breeze
