Four in the morning. Buzzcocks cold.
Coats on the floor, shoes in a row.
One drip on the kettle lid.
Nobody moves. Nobody speaks.

Three of them breathing out of time.

One drip, and the room breathes back.

Rinse the glasses, leave them wet.
flaming groovies talking heads.
Someone's radio, two doors down.
One drip plucks a single string.

Lamp off. Streetlight does the rest.
Boom Bam your in the kitchen sink.
Drip finds the door and waits.
One drip. Nobody's awake.

Still no plumber. Still no bell.
Letter on the mat, unread.
Hand on a shoulder, warm and flat.
One drip, and that is that.

Stay where you are.
Stay where you are.
