I am the superficial vein that bleeds When a nurse, old as a dinosaur Passes an intravenous cannula. I am the urethra that burns When a reckless juvenile Contracts gonorrhea, and wants to pass urine. I am the eyes that cry When a schoolteacher Batters sense into a pupil I am the broom that is used And disposed of Together with the rubbish it swept I am the condom Used en route to ecstasy Dumped into an incinerator I am the money that is lavished At a rich man's funeral I don't matter © The Kakuru #MugOfPorridge
