Housekeeping

I have a routine,
a pattern,
a method I made
to keep my house clean.

Left alone,
dust creeps in,
flies die on windowsills,
odd bits of trash appear...

But I make it shine and sparkle,
banish dirt and dust,
mold and mildew,
all the death and decay.

But they each come back.
And, well, I worry...
What would happen
if I sleep too long?
