Was he astonished or astounded

Astounded!
                    he was ever astounded by the carelessness of men
their carelessness towards even the most simple thing to do

a thought crossed his mind
if had they commonsense  a Big Order
or perhaps if their act were touted  an achievement

though  an abysmal breadth exists between commonsense and achievement

it put him off
furthur fortifying his opinion
                                                                    Men were slovenly  and lazy
it reminded him when he was a boy and dared to wonder out loud Why do I have to 
learn these womanly chores

which was met with a brisk stinging slap to the side of his head   struck on his ear
--   Because Im not raising a bum to be pawned off onto another woman  Youll learn and
youll shaddup about it


Did his mother just call him a bum


as always  with anything in regards to the physical realm  he learned quickly and ably retained it 
 
and leaving home  later than he wanted  he hadnt accumulated the cash reserves
out on his own he disadvantaged the women he met
he didnt need them to cook or clean or mend for him
dote on  or mother him
 
he was as mothered as he ever wanted to be

they had only two things he wanted
their sex  bodies
their brains

sex was enticing
but without a formidable curious mind   sex wears thin
sexual forays hed heard confounded him  cheating men and women  they ought to clutch
their genitals  masturbate  relieve their itches than destroy their relationships

or be honest                                                                                                                                       
                       --   I got an itch I gotta scratch and you aint cuttin it

hurtful  yes  but honest
and a dose of honesty outweighs of a dose  perhaps  of something else


he was graced genetically
fortunately formed
told he was good-looking

he could play their games

but only curious well-shaped minds  not practised housekeeping  appealed to him


So yes   he was Astounded!  by chewing gum in the bottom of the Standard urinal
cleansed by blue metallic-smelling fluid to mask the scent of urine  ammonia
a companion to the pleasant-smelling disinfectants used to hide their body odor

                                                                                                                     
they made him wonder of the mothering they received


okay  boys will be boys  but theyre supposed to grow up
and seemingly  few boys became men or coveted the kind of manhood he aspired to

chewing gum in urinals
piss on the floor
how the hell do you miss anything standing deadstill directly in front of you                                                                                                                                              
and carelessly dropping their damp towels on lockerroom benches and its tiled floor
and leaving them lay

yes  people are paid to clean up after them
attendants
but they dont have to be slobs because they pay for memberships   perhaps they forget
their privilege
                        and so they embarrass him without noticing they were an embarrassment
or that their inconsiderateness mock him and his consideration

he was irrevocably tied to them by his sex

they were slobs

men were slobs



effectively   he was a bum
