Household Agents
Curl my nostrils
With pine.
I sit sinking in
Tacky vinyl, it
Stinks of a beer drinker
And I sense the
Stick of semen from
Some midmorning
Snack -- maybe
In front of the
Tube during a moment
Alone watching a
Movie.
The laundry trundles
Through its cycles, pressing
Air through man-made
Sweat.
