The whole city feels a bit
like a backed-up sink today,
heavy with things that won't go.
Stood on the corner, waiting
for the light, just watching
a soggy hot dog bun
pushed against the grate.
White bread, bloated, tearing slow
in the oily puddle, refusing
to pass through. Just sat there,
a little island of trash
not quite drowning.
Something in me felt
the same.
