Scatalogical Sonnetish

- I am a leaf of paper where the dim
recurring toilet scratches at my ears
and will not cease
-
this round unlovely whim
of plumbers' lunch-breaks, squatting on the years
and alternately spitting back our gifts
or finding shit palatable and yum
- it will not cease! and now the hissing drifts
along the walls -
petitioning
my bum,
the wide almighty Crapper sends the rolls
of toilet tissue roaring down the weeks
and with a practiced porcelain he bowls
me over!
sits
me down and
SPREADS
MY
CHEEKS
- and I, a leaf of paper where the poo
sticks thickest -
find
it time for my debut!

ZebraZebraZebra is not the author’s real name. Her real
name is ZebraZebraZebra, but is pronounced not like the animal but with a slight
inflection of the Es and a dragging out of the Zs, as well as a harsh glottal
stop after the Bs. Anyway, you can read more of her work here: http://zebrazebrazebra.deviantart.com
