Shit does Sink

James Michael

Back and forth

shit upon shit

we don’t seem to realize 

shit will sink

even those floaters

Time has come…

what we need…

is a real good…

flush!

    I understand and relate, dear poet
    but sadly, I fear most people
    will interpret your words
    as a championing of that fatalistic
    nihilism
    that looming plague of modernity
    sucking what little
    we have of life, to cherish n enjoy
    ..
    (but yes, bullshit sinks the best
    its just, that it takes time for us
    to realise
    the sheer abundance of bullshit
    all around us)

      Always open for interpretation. It could be sociopolitical, concerning what that shit head Trump is doing (I’ll never know the actual truth).

      For me, it’s the words we say to each other in the heat of an argument, when in reality we actually love one another.

      Why does it always hit the fan? loll

      • James Michael

        Because, a great fan has sharp blades! Just gotta take off that protective shield!

          I'm not getting out me fan in any summer heat! I will have to roast. Better than being hit by ..... (it rhymes)!

          Such an emphatically written simile here James, with human endeavour, on an industrial scale, the world is like a toilet, and I agree, a long awaited flush is in order, to hopefully make the way clearer, and the air smell a bit more bearable.

          Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

          • James Michael

            Hopefully our society won’t choke on its vomit!

            Thanks for visiting my toilet! I am wellish, we all need a good rant from time to time.
