Sewer Sequence

'Way from Kraken gurgle, Harpic Sarlacc, full-
throated Flush Monster, back to bed I'd hurry
during the weeing hours of childhood mornindigo.
When Percy points at the porcelain, the porcy
lain pointed back at Percy.

Used & abused water
levelling
more than the icon, Sea, but at that age,
I don't suppose I was thinking
of fatbergs & rat kings,

the urinal miles of society's shiteating grim
fundus, our pissing link magic bucket in each
bubble's corner. No carminatives,
no laxatives, no angst, just Armitage H.
Shanks. Before the Other Shit, the itch-

y ringtones, the clingbait, the clagnet. 'Dontcha 
believe it!' answers the arse, the Arse 
of Om. 'Same shit, different bowls.' Ad profundum,
do sewers need hellcraft?
Don't forget to wi...Baptismal epitaph

of real shit is abysmal, a craptismal
welcome to our waste cycle world
via UK-based u-bend's dexter. Scatmanity, 
we live on curved crud, our home clod
w/ its bogs of cod and cod-

culture. But thru the eye of a needle 
our narrow focus takes us
down the Euroshopper anal canal Izal flannel 
disposal to where Kermit Quack deterges
(from a high grate) Kermit the Crocodile's scales,

wargreen as a black Atlantic gator.
I am the eggbound, goo goo 
g'jobbie! But time to putaway such childish things:
in reality, the Ninja Turtles' HQ
would be covered in poo.

Typically British/Licean/puerile to
stir urea o' tepid pools, torpid stools,
plus every uncrrlin' & hrrlin' Johnny Norovirus
& his main riotgrrl Ebola Salt's semol-
inapilchard logonorrhea. Fool-

hardy too, lest guileless sewage
triumfartly splurts
from madid, olid mouse 'oles.
O 'orizontal geysewers, O foudroyant
hydrants of tempted fate,

rumble thy smellyful! Revacuate, adobe draftexcluders
miasmatic! Revoid, renal vino, & muckup halcyon
skirtingboards! But a soapy bath soon concludes these
amphisbaenian
dirtyspines,

dire Pythagorrhea copro-cobraing, ricoshiting.
Feeshus lept, Jesus wept! But misfortune we miss
is the best luck, so thank Chod such an agitplop
contraflow of floaters against th'Effluent is
not forthplumbing. Eccrisis

is natural, nitrous, noxious
& necessary, our meconium island babies.
But nothing pooing is sweetsmelling nothing doing,
blows unblocked felicity in my
direction (an angel's cloaca of invisibility).
