The need to rush into water closets
haunts my very footsteps with urgency
emergency, emergency besets
notions of propriety, decency
emergency, emergency thus flies
Eumenides, Erinyes, the Furies
desiring vengeance, punishment arise
terror of reproach to face such juries
onwards again and again, discontent
restless internal pressure to relieve
urgent, emergent, with incontinent
struggle to remain without shame like Eve
hush this push, push, struggle into restrooms
immediate, disconsolate, dreamer
neutral powers discuss the future in tombs
thus conveying the imagery, schemer
only to arrive beyond all reproach
wishing for a better life, this karma
accountability, third class, coach
tightly packed containers, sardine dharma
each law observed long before ignorance
remember this life, this world seen before
constructed again and again, by chance
leisure turns good deeds to reset the score
obey from the start the right way, the path
set before me as a child with conscience
emergent, urgent needs to do the math
take a moment to look back, this nonsense
serves a purpose to pay off unknown debts
