Poem
Smelly Stuff Absorbed There are many words for those excrements that appear on the fabric in incremental solid and deliquescent motions because ingestion fulfils that autonomous need to shed ablutions but here I declare ‘Waste not Want not’ Whatever notion ‘shit happens’ frivolously or weighing heavy on one’s caked in mind or in the tender fabric of diaper or nappy unless we just shed in some field Soaking up explosive constipation and overflow diarrhoea or just keeping that urinal incontinence at malodorous bay is rather absorbent and can be disposed of What about that mental ‘end product of digestion’ thought rubbish or calculous colic of once frolicking reason that may reside in the lavatory pit of the mind How does one change a mental loin cloth purloining sanity if not maintained or replaced how can we drain or recycle the at times absurd theatre in our brains Not many of us wind linen around their bottom ourselves and neurotransmitters happen to be so minutely small there are so many outlets and inlets and way ward connections of perplex chemistry to be rewired re-plumbed and re-nerved Do not ask the neuro-surgeon as even their laser and blade are not fine enough and brain transplants are a thing for the future which I do not wish for as I am I Pharmacological agents may help but for fine tuning they seem blunt and brusque and while the psycho brigade can be helpful as talking assists and to listen and be heard is like discovering the shit dribble into consciousness only I the diaper bearer holds the regenerative important tools of remodelling To be faecal and honest the latrine can be a lantern for change when the spent penny drops into long johns or not which need to be soiled and one only needs to sit with the problems long enough for a smelly serene and useful repose What is the neuronal dirt telling me is there a signposted message of what it means when is the best time to purge and how often must I clean up my act my natural impulse to hold my nose timidly tidy away and ignore I advise to make shit your good friend as the old doctor physicians looked at their warden’s matter in a bowl on the ward and gained plenty of insight for treatment Look at that diaper do not change it too often hear its composure watch touch feel smell and I admit not taste all that content but employ all your wit and multifold senses when comprehension confronts previously trapped stasis It takes a mind to change a mind but a diaper cannot change that nappy flow and when erosions and those painful wounds not to be licked at serve a purpose then nappy rash is a symptom which requires a bit more than emollient or self-soothing application but beware there is hard work to be done Anal and mental retention are tantamount to gastro and neurological problems 'shit happens' and only you can do it properly and while psychological hygiene and reflection may be able to wash away that stuff you need to be aware until that day when a nappy is required no longer and continence reconvenes 06th April 2018 and counting. PS: I just changed that thing... Written for the contest 'Changing The Mind's Diaper'
