Just my alarm, I hit the button
Get up and go to the bathroom

Scratchy, painful bristles
Toothpaste that makes me sick
With the strong...

Atmospherically climactic negative correlations sustain society. 
Civilized individuals are naturally monogamous; serially… 
On the other hand gender segregated facility.

Men and woman,
Penis and vagina,

Gulping down the
Lead tainted water
