raisin at the base of the sink
hello
you've been there for quite a while, haven't you
lolling around like a restless child
jumping every time a spurt of water hits you
from one triangle of the drainage plug to another
hop
hop
hop
you were but once a lowly raisin
shrivelled and tight
fate has caused you to plummet off the edge of the crust
(either that or no one wanted to eat you, you miserable lump, and you got tossed in the sink)
into this deep dark square of constant running water
And with every drop of water,
You only get bigger
Bolder
Braver
finally you're back to your grape self
