Tears of the Toilet (by Mark S. Cavanaugh)

When a pill is stuck inside your throat -
What do you do?
You cry,
well,
Tear up that is
(I apologize if I have hurt your
Masculinity -
Femininity -
Whatever)

So what do you expect your toilet to do
When instead of a pill it is choking on poo?
Cry, of course.
well,
Tear up, if you will.

And when the pill in your throat wont go down,
Do you stick your friends' fingers down your throat?
No, no, no no no no no.
Unless you're in to that kind of thing,
In which case, I apologize.
I'm not sexist or racist or gaycist or classist, or
Whatever.

So when your toilet chokes on that which your body was
"Too good"
To Keep (Poop, I mean)
Why do you punish it so?
You take your plunger and you
Plunge
Jab
Insert
Rape.

Yes, every time you plunge
You rape your toilet.
And what can your toilet do
but overflow with tears?

Well, tear up.
Whatever.
