STAIN
HUMAN STAIN HOTEL
There is a dripping yellow-y substance
seeping from the ceiling reminiscent of
seedy hotels out on the lakeshore strip
drip drip drip It’s 4 a.m.
Insinuates itself into dreamscape watery
flashes of yellow seepage captures slippage
of dissolving moon On a canoe drip drip drip
6 a.m. yellow stain moving toward the bed will
envelop disgruntled city dwellers by noon
Now creeping toward husband’s head buried under
pillows to stanch sound of GIANT pummelling truck
Water is pouring out of pipes onto street Worlds collide
Somewhere Noah weeps as our house floats over sewage-y
waves We are Huck+Becky on a townhouse raft lighting out
for the land of Spring drip drip drip
(so where’s the fucking rainbow already?)
