4.5H Mercury 12/16/2007

So many lack
many with knowledge of that void
many without

waiting for that complement
for that plug that retains,
the plug that threads into the corse tapped hole
at the bottom of the boat
the tapped hole
filled with algae, pine needles, and mud
mud that was dirt on a wisconsin driveway
and now 437 miles away
through gas stations
car rides and short walks
wieghted down by luggage
it arrived here in this boat
just add water

the drain plug is not magic,
it is usually aluminum
it is cast
and it is easy to get anywhere
in life others can go to the store and get you one
in reality only you have that ability
and like magic
without a trip to ace.

complement \KOM-pluh-muhnt\, noun:
1. Something that fills up or completes.
2. The quantity or number required to make up a whole or to make something complete.
