This one is for the
5x5 literary mag. It's pretty sweet, they give free copies to high school students. How much more epic can you get? Oh that's right, they publish a itty bitty book that is, drum roll please, five inches by five inches. I know right? You guys should all check them out, especially you younglings. Anyhow, they publish compact poetry, fiction and art in a themed issue. Obviously I’m disappointed that I missed the
illumination issue…Oh timing, why must ye be thy bitch? Anyway, here is my work in the
visitor issue that is still a long way off.
PISSING
He was here shortly, accompanying my single mother for uses
I know not what. Perhaps he was just a friend,
or perhaps more. I don’t really care.
But he came into my house
and used my bathroom
and lifted the seat
and pissed
and left the seat up
and left the house then
and left the house different
from the way he had found it here.
I, dreary in the night, fell into the toilet.
In a house of girls, the cold seat was never lifted.
My mother’s visitor left long ago, but my ass is still wet.
