all around
hordes of people
mostly women
it seems
are writing
glorious unforgettable
prose and poetry
and every day
i learn a little bit more
that i will never
learn
enough to catch up
with them
like this morning
overcome with despair i sat down
to take a crap
but could only throw up
instead
and nearly forgot
to thank god for teaching me to hold
the waste can
between
my jittery knees
