TOILET FLUSHING

 

T. Anders Carson

 

It rings of endlessly flushing

and re-flushing

My breathing is scattered

as he calls to make a change in

his life.

Cats meow in lesbian pad.

For a homophobic last season

this is a universal U-TURN.

His body is scarred

with broken beer bottles

gashed across has shrinking head.

I’ll head into the outhouse

to hum a tune to the spiders

crawling beneath the seat.

I’ll have to release myself

tonight listening to Coltrane

play saxophone craze.

My heart beats quietly

wishing for a flush

of flesh.
