How the truth wound up dead at the bottom of the basement stairs
[slm]
Rubber ducky sails into the living room
to rest in a puddle on the antique rug.
the post-it on his forehead reads:
"destroyer of the antiquities"
he is the intruder.
but he couldnt have got there if
the back scrather wasnt wedged inthe bathroom doorway
with his post-it reading:
"he opened the door for the unwelcome flood"
without him this distruction would have been impossible.

seeping thought the floor, a rat is awakened in daylight,
by a dripping like torture on his head
the mocking lavendar scent is named unsettling.

and after a trail of foam and bubbles at the head of the stairs
at the back ofthe kitchen
an unlabled bar of soap waits.

but what is in the bath tub?
the forman didnt know it and the workmen filled it with concrete
a good place for the truth to stand as a self proclaiming monument
to itself its whole self and nothing but itself
but truth, not getting the beauty of the plan to hold it down in one location
made a break for it
or tried to.
