Homework Assignment on the Subject of Toilets
(Based on Homework Assignment on the Subject of Angels by Tadeusz Różewicz; various inspirations by Mohammed B.)
Thirsty
toilets
evoke
long leeches
white voids
hungry children sitting
in a third world
and evoke doctors
sucking blood
thick silver
hollow needles
thirsty toilets
evoke
zombies
smoothies that make
up the cerebral profits of scholars
serene toilets
evoke the hidden wisdoms
of an anal schoolmaster
they are kept warm
they bask in moonlight
they are like porcelain dolls
they receive patronage
amply
thirsty toilets
are like desperate hermits without a calling
like the dogs in a pound
like frogs in jars with no air holes
like abandoned open heart patients
like over-chewed bits of gum
like rock stars who party
who swig air from deserted drainpipes
a family of toilets
shuns
the one with flushed cheeks
they are all throats
at record slows they stroll
searching for grub on a path curved
like a gob of drool
their flushest busking spots
are at buffets with lax menus
they squat at the starting lines
they sit there for forever
