rusty water from the bathroom spigot

i turn

the water on in the bathroom.

it's brown.

rusty,

it's a disturbing

blood coffee

color pouring out

of the spigot.

i let it run for a while.

nothing changes.

it doesn't clear up.

i turn it off

and ponder my life.

the world.

suddenly

everything gone wrong

feels

connected somehow,

i can even

tie in with the ex-wife.
