Drip

Poemtober

A slow feed of conundrums
from unreliable sources
I try to tighten the handle
but it still keeps coming

in plips
plops
ploops

of maddening regularity
so it pools a little
and wears a hole
in my rational thinking
leaving me puny, unquenched
and with a higher bill
than I know how to pay
