| Posted by Michael Smith on 10/21/10 at 09:39 PM One could write a social history of the world from the perspective of how people tend to their unmentionables. This piece has re-grounded me in a good way. Thanks for tending to this integral part of our culture (and sharing it).

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 10/22/10 at 04:13 PM I like the details here and your past and present observations. Takes me back to college days also. I do still take the big bed spread to the laundry-mat and it is sooo true that "early is better". Thanks for this. |

| Posted by Paul Lastovica on 10/29/10 at 06:36 PM early to beat the crowd, always a good choice. I have memories of the laundrymat from childhood...pumping quarters into whatever video arcade game was available, as mother fed the machines clothes and coins. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 11/29/10 at 11:41 PM You do paint a picture. There is a certain feeling about doing clothes in such a public setting. You word picture brings it on. Airing your dirty laundry literally... Your poem piques the imagination about each of their stories - those men especially - what drama or ordinary social conventions brought each of them to this place? Thanks for this poetic peek into the ordinary. |
