Melted Ice Poem by Matt Mondschein

Melted Ice



freezer busted
on a hot August morn'
the veteran plumber
without a syllable spoken
skipped out the rear door
with his war torn knees

destination, the ice machine
a mere few blocks away
interrupted by the neon sign, which read
BAR

A few Pabst Blue Ribbons
flowed down his tube
with his last two quarters
he saved for ice
dropped them in the machine
we had ice
