Arm's Reach

The glass tipped over at half-past eight,

I watched the water decide its fate.

It soaked the covers of last year's news,

Drowning the edges of my Tuesday blues.


Beside the lamp is a ghostly ring,

Where an allergy pill did its own thing.

It crumbled to dust on the particle board,

A small white debt that I just ignored.
