Gone, but not forgotten.

This is a poem I wrote while in Indonesia and had a less than thrilling experience in the bathroom.

Jakarta Misery

“Praise the Lord, O my bowels!
He has made them whole.
Twice in a row. Twin pythons.
They worry about flushing paper, but I’m worried about it going down.
My God is good.
I celebrate with an apple and salad.
And now it pours out of my body and into the toilet like a rushing wind.”
