on dad's birthday, but not about dad; replaceable years.

watermelon juice
distracted hands
dripping the sink
running water
run the bill
wonder if electricity
can kill down here
get some soap
rub it in
wash the grease
pull the plug
watch it drain
down the hole
take the trash
wash it down
cut the rind
smash it up
call me
crazy summer's
too hot
walk the distance
walk it back
repeat
i quit
i quit
but maybe just one
more, what's another
june then july
then i am just one month
in a string of all the rest.
