talking toilet

toilet talked to him

as the water boiled under his stream he could swear he heard a voice

                                                                            unfortunately

it spokerapidly like an ex-ci-ta-ted native Mexicanspeaker on speed

             smoked a joint  awfullyhigh his mind was liberated

not that he evereverever shackled it

welloiled wellgreased

            provocative as having sex with a nun who screamed called him by the wrong name OH GOD OH GOD OH JESUS

                      tits pussy ass inside elbow armpit back of knees feet throat nape of neck  spinefurrow
