Escapril Day 12: Water fountain

Drip, drip, drip...
The cat's water fountain is always on --
Turning my bladder on alert, too.
I guess it's time for another bathroom break. 

Most of the time, I don't really notice it. 
But when I do -- it's like the loudest thing I notice,
Especially when everything else is quiet.
Having a bladder issue really isn't for the weak. 

Sometimes I'm lying in bed,
Thinking about how much I need to pee.
Then I also think about how much I haven't had water in hours
But I still don't get up -- frozen in time. 

Is a water fountain a symbol of being stuck in this never-ending cycle?
Seeing the world continue as I stay still?
