Gurgling by Joe CramerTick, tick, tick, tock
Booms the clock.
The kitchen is never quiet.
My refrigerator sits
Nonchalantly in the corner
Quietly gurgling flatuently.
I sit silently, as I am able,
Somber at the kitchen table
Which is my dining room too.
Dimly, I can almost view
The Rorschach wine stains
On the kitchen rug.
I shrug.
What's the difference anyway?
The kitchen is quite quiet,
I never eat in it.
