Listen to poem:

stopper

how many times whiplash before neck
broken we fall before thee, prostrate,
dead.

crawling through backways,
squirming, recoiling,
is it a prayer or a deathwish. can it be
                both. or, maybe, it is a leaking faucet
drip
                into a sink with a stopper.
                hand in hand,
drip
                we have
                so much
drip
                potential.
