The dishes
Half-Life by Marillion

Half-Life 

Dishwater cycles round the basin drain. 
It takes no time at all to tidy up
with only half as many things to stain.
Mere minutes on a spoon, a coffee cup,
an iron skillet, one ceramic plate,
a floral-patterned bowl, a fork and knife—
no pairs at all; just ones to designate
the singular condition of my life.

Author Notes
I don't even own a dishwasher, so I do them by hand. Being single (happily), it doesn't take long, but it did inspired this little idea.
