Dirty Water At My Liberty

dirty water at my 
liberty of discolored junction
I shake in fear 
at the thought of taking a shower 

what will my land lord say 
when she reads my poem
will she turn red and quill  
will she up and scream
what will be her dill  

I know not the answer 
but want her to know 
that i think it strange 
no one else pays rent 
with dirty water 

will i get sicker 
will i get sores   
will i get some answers.. 
well i just don't know 

who? the hell knows
really 
do you know?

Verlecia, I admire your verve and sense of humor about it all. I once lived in an apartment building where cockroaches by the busload came out at night. They fumigated the whole building of course, but they almost killed my lungs in the process:) Amitiés
