Cut Off (Psalm 37:38)

“But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.”


Ripping up the third

overdue notice, he took a long shower,

and went about the rest of his day

without giving it a second thought,

until, having grown thirsty 

in the middle of night, 

the kitchen faucet mocked 

his wanton disregard 

by yielding nary a drop.
