Bathroom Stall

Lies and pictures

failing to convey to the deaf soul

All is forever in the in the end.

Today I am a man...

Not only a human-man, but a god-man.

I have left her in the terrified company of my ever-present hatred

She, my darkest secret

    and my weakness.

Truth and lies of a wiser child

She has given away my identity, my soul

to a local charity of selfishness and gratitude.

Today I write her name on the bathroom stall

for all the shitters to see and to touch;

to silence the rebellion in my heart and my fear.

    Today I hate her with all my love and all of my being.
