PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I will not shower.

I will not shave

or even brush my teeth today.



Why lose

this dusky Sicilian taste -

this acrid spice

of inner space -

this pungent funk

upon my fingers



which now lingers on

my keyboard and my bed,

my body and my pets

- smells not here for years -

especially cigarettes?



However,

YOU can come

at any time

and leave your fragrant butts behind.
