do you forgive me?

she's made of iron
most of the time.
rarely have i seen
her cry. but lately,
it's april showers
all day. for instance
yesterday she was
standing over the
tea kettle as it
whistled loudly
announcing it's boil,
the steam rising
furiously from
the small hole in
the black capped
top, and she was
crying. and i asked
her what's wrong,
what's the matter,
why are you crying,
and she said, i don't
know, i don't know.
it's just the sound
of this tea kettle
boiling, it reminds
of a train leaving
the station, something
like that. i'm not
sure why. do you
forgive me?
