SEWAGE
by Jebediah Lamb

I want to die in the sewers
I want to live in the sewers
I want to be the sewers

I want to write a poem as beautiful as waste water
As human as waste water
Because what's human is also organic
And revolting

Aiming for perfection is childish
Perfection is a lie
Perfection is inauthentic for a human
Don't waste your time with heavens
Write instead praise
To every drop of your drool
