Hung Out (Poem)


Hung out

Those words you used
Were soggy, you know
Dripping with less than enthusiastic
Restraint

Washboard and lye
Not abrasive enough
To scrub and scour
Out the harshest of thoughts

Til you set him to work
Carrying your basketful of stink
To the Laundromat again
Hung out to dry
