A foam cup
sits at the water fountain.
Ramadhan
and half the floor is consumed;
the other half, observant.
Struggles in obedience,
compliance,
and ambivalence;
with some agnostic side-line stares.
A foam cup
sits single
not so lonely,
it actually stands...
sore.
A foam cup
conveniently near water
close by,...more water
...a closet.
A cup
it speaks.
Ramadhan and
Ablution is upon us
evermore
than any abnormal day...
The Fast,
tedious;
the cup,
a sign;
it speaks not of breaking a fast
but
sanctity
and other
suppressed
more significant words.
Note: Inspired by a foam cup sitting on a water fountain next to a water closet in a State building in Ohio during the month of Ramadhan. There were a number of Muslims fasting on the floor that month. Someone needed it for Ablution and other Islamic rituals.
