MORNING SHOWER Fluid of filth. Downward spirals the smut soup, a swivel, steadily shrinking, out of my house, my life. *** At night, when the sun seizes staring, Monsters I buried in the morning rise and dance the dance of dreaded, delirious honesty to the beat of regurgitation as I watch, lip-licking, now with no need for feigning horror: teeth stuck in meat, mouths stuck as smiles, swords stuck in heads, (dicks stuck wherever.) They fling their bodys their grime their earth the r weat al m nic body f uids b dy a ts e h ric gai n ng l ght i gs f t r b a ls, , , . ((((i)))) ****** __i____ ///// I- ... I. I wake up disgusting, a pig wallowing in rustled bedsheets, hard and feathered. "You must never be seen like this", says The Mirror On The Wall. "Never." I reach for the shovel leaning against the sink. *** My Deep Sea Oddities, swallowed by a shower drain. Your beloved Goldfish, flushed down a toilet. Today, they might meet each other, down in the sewers, the public stream of subconsciousness, screaming beneath the much too thin roads on wich we drive to work.
