Drips Are Agony
Drips are agony
used for torture and
to track times passage
over old men.
Paint drips down newly
created masterpieces spoiling
a last chance at happiness.
Water drips through the damn;
impending failure will overwhelm
children playing in the valley below.
Blood drips from the edge
of a midlife crisis ending-
wrapped around a sycamore tree.
Time drips away in seconds,
tapping on shoulders harder
and harder; accumulating force--
driving me into the ground.
