The Spill
There’s something in the water
but that doesn’t stop the Joneses
from brewing their own beer
Meanwhile Missus Thompson
is unloading a couple of cases of bottled
water into her garage
You shouldn’t buy all that plastic
I yell from across the street
Why not she yells back
I say it’s not good for the oceans
and she says there ain’t no
oceans around here
I hope you’re not drinking the water
she goes on to say
closing the trunk of her Caddy
No worries I’m off water I calmly reply
I’m only drinking beer
september two thousand twenty-four
