A meditation on six.

I quietly wake up at 6 AM and slip downstairs to make our morning coffee, six cups apiece. I trip over no less than 6 dog toys. Later in the morning, I pick up a 6-pack of kombucha at the grocery store as well as a half dozen eggs, which cost a total of $26.66 due to price gouging. On our mantle shelf sit the Matryoshka dolls, 6 in all. I then do 6 dishes, which is 1 more, on average, than the typical male.
