Status Report 246
Scrub tub
fill with water too hot for skin
ease in
lean back to pain pleasure
of wet heat engulfing body
roomful of steam muffling sound
reality in-bound
when scritch scritch scritch
in litter box
four feet away
sneaks into mind
followed by foul stench
of cat’s upset stomach defecation
filling room
ending perfect pleasure
and the medit of my ation
as I rise
to deal with fresh shit
flashing on the dump Trump
done on our Presidential election
