Explanation:

In this poem, we learn about a mother, and the exhaustion that she feels after dealing with her motherly responsibilities. The mother feels overwhelmed by everything she has to do, and more than anything, by the fact that she has no time or energy to dedicate to herself. The only moment she finds that is just for her is an hour in the middle of the day. We see her drag a chair to sit in the garage and stare at nothing. This image conveys how incredibly exhausted the woman is.
