at work today

music rises like water
in the penthouse above
dripping down to the street below
flowing for all to hear

and then there's sulphuric acid
in that creepy staircase, love-
making, heart-breaking hate,
brewing potato beer

waking up to streets paved with brown carpet
squishing like worms between my toes
and nobody knows
why?

oh why, curses, oh! fie!
why oh why the hell is there acid in the closet?

~~sigh
