Someone Fix That F***ing Faucet MAG

By Anonymous

Chemistry class.
Somewhere in the school,
there’s a faucet dripping.
drip.
I’m sure of it.
drop.
I crack my knuckles,
draw on my shoes.
drip.
write poetry.
I’m over you.
drop.
I swear it.
“I’m insane. Fix me?”
Last night I realized.
Drip.
“I could kiss you better.”
Drop.
could it … ? – no.
no, of course not.
drip.
but yet there it is.
DROP.
the irony might kill me.

The title isn't said in the poem but reading the poem you think fix the faucet fix the faucet and it is amazing how this poem got me thinking that.

the title certainly grabbed me! i want to say something really nice, but I don't have the words. This is really creative!

Pretty good. The faucet's constant drip makes a good environmental element. This is something just about everyone can relate to.

wow, i totally love this poem. i like how you combine something as simple as "oh, the faucet's dripping" with something as complicated as "maybe still love him...", and also how the "drip drop" acts like a metronome throughout the piece. good job!
