Time in the Kitchen















A hillside in a kitchen sink
makes the sink look smaller.
But only according to the eye of the lemon
sitting on a brick nearby,
waiting for someone to hop the fence,
struggle out of the faucet,
and squeeze it.
The juices will run up the wall,
snaking through cracks in the bricks,
and seep inside a pocket watch
triggering an alarm.
The alarm will startle the grass on the hillside,
cause it to stand up straight
and grow along the edge of the sink
until a garden is formed in its place.
