sewage

spitting on the carpet

waiting for the day to fade

allow the vomit to dry on the wall

so much easier to clean that way

push the chunks down the sink

through the little holes

to the nether realm

the place where the rats live

perhaps they will enjoy last nights dinner

perhaps they will enjoy the blood

the flat coca cola

matted fur and mangy teeth

i can hear them chattering

it comes up through the little holes

through the vents in the bathroom

through the walls and the windows

chitter chatter

little holes

◄ the leaky tap

after we realised we were nothing we became everything ►

I love the lines about blood and flat cocoa cola with matted fur and mangy teeth.

Elements of Orwell again Stu (1984). Desperation comes through and a gratuitous feeling for all things nauseous. Very enjoyable I say ! Regards Ray
