piss
by John Grochalski
she comes up to me
while i’m laughing at the war news
in the paper

“someone pissed on the toilet seat,”
she said.

“yes, but have you ever read sartre
or schopenhauer? I asked.

“it’s all over the bowl
and dripping on the floor.”

i nodded.  “in china they are
sticking each other with syringes
full of the hiv virus.”

“i really have to go,” she said,
dancing around me.

“but the needs of the many
outweigh those of the few,”
i mentioned.

“well, are you going to clean it
up or aren’t you?” she asked.

and then i put
down the newspaper
and got up from my chair
to get a mop.
sometimes
most times
life’s not even worth
the words used to describe it
and conversation
is as bad
as its always been.
