a gowny way of thinking watching views passing in my head fasting not attending to any one of them never thoughts of importance just a carousel to blur i trade it to the task before me the industrial bath drains a slow beige stretch and my brain feels a little pulled at i’ve a simple washing task the last sick child of the shift has been immersed baptized and ushered out and I’m left to scour the chemicals away (hope child will live to see another day)

[original version written : 26/12/23 final tweaks : 30/12/26 26/12/23 tub //A gowny way of thinking / revealing the passing of views only/never the thoughts of importance/just a carousel blur/i trade it to /the task before me/the industries bathing tub drains a slow beige stretch/And my brain feels a little pulled at/I’ve a simple washing task/The last sick child has been immersed /Baptized and played out/And I’m left to scour the chemicals away/(Hope they live to see another day)/wash away]
