Under Their Sink

[Withheld until two months after publication; see poem at link below.]

Cool Beans Lit , Vol. 2, Issue 2, Summer (June 21) 2025, p.15. A free flipbook and PDF of the entire issue is also available at the website.

Notes: Ironies of fire extinguishers: Under the kitchen sink but never used, needed at the TV but not available, not wanted in the bedroom but mentally applied anyway, and used on ambitions of children – who grow up to repeat what they’ve learned. Regarding form: Every line is decasyllabic, with rhyming pairs of lines.
