LOU RASMUS

They emptied the
Community pool
At my apartment
For the winter.
I think it looks
Kinda sad.
Like a barren
Womb after an
Abortion…
Ok, too morbid,
That’s my bad…
Anyway, I think
That the pool
Should be full
Of something.
It would look
Better that way.
So every night
I sneak down there,
To that empty pool,
And I fill it
With my beer cans
And cigarette butts.
Then I say to
That hole in
The ground,
“I’m sorry for
Killing my baby.”
