Sliced my thumb cutting an onion
while liver burns on the stove

If it’s not one thing it’s the whole universe

All the Band-Aids are kid-sized
I put them in a memorable place

Same drawer as therapy receipts
delinquent student loans

The payment plan for the discounted pool with scattergun marks

Things are safer without water
The kids could spend all day down at the bottom 

Watching sunrays leaking through pinhole constellations
Yelling Cassie O’s peeing again
