A taste of bathroom



mm grilled cheese sandwich the lettuce on the paper tasted like bathroom
like yellowtail and wasabe kind of bathroom with brian liked yellowtail bathroom flavor
but he never smelled the cleaning fluid they used to wipe the floors and counters
because he rarely cleaned
can you taste the bathroom in gyoza potstickers
should i put on some makeup and do my hair
when i saw the white and the water came on without a touch
i thought i should fix things or be wearing tight little pants and a handbag
so that i would be crippled when i wanted to wash myself
what do they do with their handbags when they get angry
i see them shaking and twisting the handles
i thought my hair would be fun and bouncy
but it's fluffy and itchy and maybe i didn't rinse enough
and if i touch it it gets bigger and bigger
bigger and bigger wish i could find the words to say something different to a rhythm
when can we talk again?
