Description Every single cologne has now been equaled
to the chlorine, to the scrubbing
and swirling of all toilets,

to the scratching and waving
the tiding and crashing
of the clothes that defeated the machine,

but rejoice
because you are a house holder
keeping the dome

and watching the news squeal
over how
there is money in everyone´s pockets

then you frown at yours
empty

so empty

like your wheelrunning hamsterness
after a life of your own

every single meal
has been filled
with your breaths
being muzzles
in face of her capricious tantrums

In and out
breathe
in and out
goes the spoon
in and out
swallow the desire
in and out
to serve the china
in and out
on her tantrum expeller

your hands still smell of
endless scrubbings

first the toilets
right to left
left to right
then the sink
up and down
every single plate

and then your
deadlines
smell of soap and chlorine
smell of soup and burnt rice
then your deaddays
smell of mustbes and responsabilities

because you are the man of the house
of an unemployed house

where rice smells of arguments
and tantrums
and unaswered cee-vees

and yet
all is irrelevant
when
the chlorine
is eternal in your nostrils
oh useless man
oh waste of a life
