PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I sat and shat so long

my foot fell asleep

and I was hobbled

when I left the bathroom

I could barely walk

which were I in public

would attract attention

It never looks good

to emerge from a toilet

walking with a limp

and eyes revealing

a deep sense of relief

this Seinfeld era

has corrupted minds

to seek the most unsavory choice

as the answer to the picture

simple human frailty

is no acceptable

Flaws are never overlooked

no matter how mundane

the absurd becomes

the rallying cry

and ostracizing others

elevates ourselves higher

We can’t simply

achieve self esteem

based solely on our own merit

That’s no longer considered

the American way

and it’s no surprise

we’re becoming a toilet

since our heads never get out of one
