I ONCE OVERHEARD THIS FROM MY KITCHEN

Dross
glopping—some ice-
thick

sounding singing—
jangling,
going

slopping—down an easy-does-it-
tomorrow drain.
Another numb-

cold titular 

Tues 
day
bath-
room-
down-the-
hallway sink 
water wasting—way  

a-
way
away.
And away
it pipes up,
giggling again as it

keeps on
wenting away—try? Oh, Daniel,

laughing—weep-
ing—really,
this?

This is 
serious-

ly 
you 
keeping 
on trying?—so hard 

for some-
thing. What? Already—just
to keep

some empty—
pipes from freezing!
