Water, drips Escaping from cold pipes Claustrophobic caverns of mildew and moisture Collecting in pools at the mouth of the faucet, forming and fusing until it's big enough To fall
Drop Plummets down, an endless journey, toward the white expanse of a sink and the impending drain that crowns it Flowing down the smooth porcelain sides, nearer to that terrifying drain Lingering on the edges until the water once more collects And down the drain the drip falls Back to the claustrophobic pipes Time to go again
