All week she's cleaned
someone else's house,
stared down her own face
in the shine of copper-
bottomed pots, polished
wood, toilets she'd pull
the lid to--that look saying
Let's make a change, girl.
But Sunday mornings are hers--
church clothes starched
and hanging, a record spinning
on the console, the whole house
The first stanza introduces the thematic tension of  ownership : she cleans a house that’s not hers, but  sees her own face . 
 
 That tension continues here. Sunday is, by definition,  the Lord’s day . By making Sunday morning  hers , she may be appropriating God’s day, or maybe making herself Lord even if just for one morning. At this point, the possibilities are open and the tension/ambiguity remains unresolved.
