friends and comrades

bathroom tiles
never clean
except for the first week
before anyone takes a shower

kitchen tiles
in a variety of designs and colors
glass, ceramic, metallic,
sprucing up the area before spaghetti sauce hits them

large black and white floor tiles of a restaurant
a necessity if the juke box and chrome chairs are to pull off
the ambiance of the fifties

seven tiles of a scrabble game
when using them all you get fifty extra points
KLINCRE becomes the word crinkle

no tile better than another
no snotty attitude or mean ways
friends and comrades
