Aubade Faucet
by Bill Yarrow
I.
he leans his messy head against the wall
and contemplates his wild mistakes
he discovers a nest of red spiders
outside his rotting basement door
he watches television in his socks
and thinks about the world to come
II.
he discovers a nest of red spiders
and thinks about the world to come
he leans his messy head against the wall
outside his rotting basement door
he watches television in his socks
and contemplates his wild mistakes

"wild mistakes" is a great phrase.*
Playful and sly, just the way we like'em.
Nicely crafted.
