there are the sticky bits that just keep turning up
solvents only do part of the job
releasing the worst of it
but there is something
a code in the DNA that enables it
to mutate and evolve
allowing it to reconvene
and find its way to your shirt front
but only the white shirts
it is more obvious
the mark clearer
and you have to scrub harder
to remove it all over again

trauma recovery is a process steps forward and slides back
laundry techniques and a quality bleach product always handy
to annihilate the stubborn sticky bits
