Acrid fumes assail my
Nostrils like Saturday
Morning controversies on
Politics or coiffures. Recycled
Paper feels good on
Recycled food, wipe me
Clean, my friend, wipe me
Spotless. A barrage of
Random thoughts rampaging
Across my tired mind.
Bright lights on tiles, like
A red-light district's
String of fancy neon-signs. Flashing
Their Hollywood smiles
At the lowest=bidder's
Price. Pink and green lies.
We consider the death of
A life-giver, we celebrate
The release of last night's sins,
Slushing about in the
Pearly whiteness of a sanitized
Factory-child. And we smile and
Laugh as we contemplate life
In between the slushes and
Flushes of furtive, conscience-cleaning
Toilet times.
