NaPoWriMo, Day Four, Poem Four


Inspired by this story.

Chekhov's Knife

Knife left
point-up in glass

in your lazy
kitchen sink

has to go into
someone's hand

once day opens
Act Three

character concedes
to load washer

in midst of table
cleaning aerobics

ending day with
drama you crave

rather than just
take garbage out.
