the Benefit of Experience

I'd make a poor housemaid-
I always clamber over an unmade bed
and my knees force furrows into the sheet
and I start over.
But she flicks her perfect hands,
flapping the sheet into a billowing sail.
It blankets the bed in snowstorm crochet,
guided by some skill I cannot imagine.
