Under Their Sink

[Withheld until publication.]

Cool Beans Lit , Summer 2025.

Notes: Ironies of fire extinguishers: Under the kitchen sink but never used, needed at the TV but not available, not wanted in the bedroom but mentally applied anyway, and used on ambitions of children – who grow up to repeat what they’ve learned. Regarding form: Every line is decasyllabic, with rhyming pairs of lines.
