Vermin
it was clean, it always was
whatever she did, however she pleased
nobody knew a word about her dreams
she had half made up her mind to give up on herself
warm and cozy it was to remove people’s shit
no melodrama, no shriek at destiny
it was fated she would be so
she licks out your cockroaches and lizards
with mopping efficiency
but do not ask her about her nightmares
she won’t get to run away neither could you.
