be

after all

thin
now
and transparent
like
soap

somewhere
something
must be
clean

and

down
now
in a
pipe's
bent
darkness

something
must

be

  1. I like how the words themselves are the pipe, drawing us down for a look.

  4. Woooo. Can we flush all this thinness/cleanness thing down the toilet together? Well, this poem kind of does it in spite of the obsession. In one word. Be. (Not even "TO be")
    I am pleased. Thanks.
