where do we stow yesterday
to make room for today
how do the saturated
stay absorbent enough
to pick up what is now
do we keep mostly/only
the parts that feed us
and with vigor wring
what will bloat and stink
like a stagnant sponge
at the side of the sink
letting what has gone by
glissade--bygone--away
inspiration, exhalation
gray water passing
joyously whirling
clockwise or counter
down the hollow pipe...
