The Cork

just a cork small and insignificant
bobbing around on the water
fastened to a fishing line
simple in its usefulness

on a certain bottle of white or red
whichever is opened first
it keeps in the liquid so treasured
to quench a need deeper than thirst

its simple usefulness surpass
the vineyards and swirling glass
untold corks inventor's resourcefulness
to  plugs leaks, and bathtubs and sinks.
