UTI

the bladder stores
gallons of boiling
cloudy urine acid.

inside the urethra,
the belligerent dysuria
stands sentry.

urgently commanding
the bladder to open
a passageway twice an hour
to urinate.

unhurriedly dropping
arduous liquid shards,

trickling down nonstop
to the urethra’s puddle
of sharpened teardrops.
