Chapter 168

the gutter-mind

it’s as if there is a colony of mold


on the roof of a septic plant


flowing first through some awful funk

down into the gutter of rot


oozing then, thick like a horrible gel


steaming as it falls from the downspout


in clumps of festering forms


splatting into the mind of humanity


we clap our hands and wait for the next batch
