spin cycle

Working another twelve hours, then punching out, the run sits on our mind. Not an obligation, nor a duty but a desire to do what is right for the future. Heading to the laundromat the day's work does not cease. A quick O.K. is given from the attendant because it is past the last load time. Hurriedly throwing dirty articles in the washer, out the door and off we go. The run finishes as the clothing is spinning dry. While the clothing and run is done, there is the odd sensation that we are now the items twirling, fast and free as a top on Christmas morning.
