Leaky Faucet
March 24, 2019
seconds
minutes
hours
days.
insanity creeping
with little droplets
plink..
.....plink...
.............plink....
nightmares
churn through
the dark thoughts
while listening
to the droplets
plink..
.....plink...
.............plink....
you tighten the bolts
the echo repeats
in your head,
the drops keep
dropping rhythmically
plink..
.....plink...
.............plink....
screaming and ringing
in your ears
become louder
and sync with the droplets.
plink..
.....plink...
.............plink....
yelling and groaning
at this faucet
pushes you over the edge
with the hammer in hand.
plink...
but you realize
the droplets
weren’t the problem
it was all in your head.
