Puddles

A puddle has opened and

Swallowed me whole.


No one in the world has

Noticed but I have—under


The surface, solid like glass,

And I choke to breathe—


No matter, all I need 

Is a blade of grass to cut

 

Through the ceiling that's 

Keeping me down. Once free


I can dry my clothes and

Make the day one without


Any more puddles.
