Simple tortures

crown cinquain

Cracking

every knuckle

seems to be your weakness.

If it isn't too much to ask:

please stop.

This hot

water heater

is fine for short showers;

anything more than five minutes,

you freeze.

Also,

the butter dish

wants to be in the fridge

along with the milk, if we had

some milk.

Outside

it's all muddy —

there's nothing to be done.

For your convenience there's a new

doormat.

Breathing

okay at night?

You haven't sounded good.

Maybe it's the pillow, maybe

the cold.

Written in reaction to the theme "Simple Pleasures" on the CinquainPoems group.
