Overflow Poem by Charles Malcolm

Overflow



I fall
for liars, cheats, and drunks.
My own reflection
in the toilet.

I find
truth, stoicism, and straight edges
in their pale
white bellies.

Whatever they were.
Whatever I saw.

I find it hard
to flush the dead fish.

Afraid of the face
that I'd recognize
in the swirling water.
