Life's more challenging thoughts...

How
How is it
that I can use hot, hot water
and more than the required amount of bleach
to wash my white towels
and pillowcases
And the towels come out okay
but the pillowcases are still
so
gray-ish?
Yet
the three tee-ni-ny drops of bleach
that landed on my PURPLE T-shirt
have made three not-so-tee-ni-ny bleach spots
in the middle of that purple shirt
that are
as white as snow?

Trying again now-
just the pillowcases-
hot, hot water
copious amounts of bleach
suspended cycle so they can soak.

Here's hoping...

I want WHITE pillowcases :-).
