A Reinterpretation of Jane Siberry

[ranjit@ENIAC.SEAS.UPENN.EDU (Ranjit Bhatnagar)]

What would she have written if she lived in a house
like mine, with 80 year old plumbing?


THE LEAKING (AND CONSTANTLY)

the leaking and constantly
an endless stream of endless streams
that roil and roll just past my shoulder

the rusting and constantly
an endless life of busting pipes
the sinks, bidet
you never know for sure

i was dry until i moved in
now i don't know
all i know is something sprayed me
grease spots on my fingers
don't let the cold...
every now and then the water runs clear
