Back Next Me.Pee Boy


I've come in here,
In this pee place
From the party
And now there is
No rushing this through.
It has it own biological time.
And now alone
I wait and hate
This inconvenient
Animal endeavour
Out there they are whooping it up
And here I stand peeing.
This. Here. Now. Is the unmasked
Reality of it all, the
Eternal moment:
Porceline sink, pee and me.
Oh god-damn this consequential contrast
Outh there tie and suit
Quite the conversationalist
And here I stand like
Any typical dog,Urinating.
What was it my grandmother used to say
When I peed in my diapers?
"Oh what a bad boy, oh such a bad boy"
And now I'm through:
Wash my hands?
No I won't wash my hands!
What, shall I touch these water taps?
How many pee stained hands have touched these water taps?
And to think that I have to touch the doorknob
In order to open up the door.
I'm back again,
Back at the party
Hey there
Here I am
Mr. Pee boy himself.
