My life ticks backwards
While glancing over my shoulder
And thinking I should
Face up to things
I sit and wax lyrical
Into a vinyl cylinder
An ode to joy
With an eastern allure.
Some cultures attract
Others threaten
Drawing pretty lines
In defecation brown
Global homunculi
Featuring sensitive spots
And a soft underbelly.
I reject the arguments
In favour of backtracking
Knowing old times
Are not what we want
Yet cleanliness calls.
