s-drain

under the night 
a pipe goes out and down 
blocked by the accumulated use 
of a too-constant frown 

fairly not a possibility 
but there are no statistics here 
strain is both a collander 
and the sum of this week's fear 

sublimation reaches across 
solar systems and aisles 
wondering when this loss 
might turn itself to smiles 

built up city street 
won't answer such a question 
but putting mind to feet 
escape without suggestion
