UNTITLED 2

i took a chair
into the bathroom
and set it down
with the radio playing
and sipped a cool bottle of beer
with my legs stretched out
ankles crossed over the edge of the tub

there was a baby spider
climbing the shower curtain
and fresh towels folded
in a drawer

it was about 8:00
on a Tuesday evening
and a fire engine screamed down
the street outside
around the corner
and deep into the city

looking for someone to save.
