What's Down Behind the Radiator, Daddy

Dead sparrow bodies rotting in puddles of steam heated brown water.

"Just a couple dust covered marbles,"

Spiders, brown hairy and beady eyed, pissing with two long legs held up.

"and a bent bobby pin,"

A once bitten dirty apple now shriveled to half size.

"and maybe a penny, I can't tell for sure."
