of toxic
liquid down the stuck drain
to clear
the pipe.
it doesn't work, despite
having three
skull and cross bones
across the label.
do not drink, it says.
do not touch. wear gloves,
wear a mask.
don't breathe it in.
see a doctor if you feel faint.
i can't imagine the fish this is
killing on the other end.
i plunge the drain,
i put my back into it.
i talk nicely to it,
come on sweetheart,
who's your daddy?
swirl and go away.
but no such luck.
it's plumber time again.
