A special kind of hell
day-in, day-out
with no known close
or open.
Someone wiser assuredly
at fault
or one more perverse
at least
blamed.

She is wrinkling her nose at me
and he is scowling in his chair
desk-bound crockpot turned to high
known also as less than a simmer
failure on promise delivered
the frog's life not as of yet 
cut short
