A Week Without Sun

Nothing tastes quite as odd

As water that has sat

In the fridge too long.



A necessity, right?

Tasteless, isn't it?



But no, no, not so

Maybe the darkness

Or the 'freshening' chemicals

Defile it's natural goodness

As surely as bread gathers mold

Or milk ends up acerbic.



It could be more simple still.



It seems truest that nothing, regardless of merit

Stays that way when sequestered without remit.
