L'aura del Campo

Dealing with it [150]

Dealing with it

The door is closed,
the light turned off,
my thoughts composed,
was it the stroganoff?

I sit here in silence
without a doubt,
accept the science:
what goes in must come out.

but, thump thump thump
as if they don't know
I'm taking a dump;
this ain't no show.

I'M TAKING A s***
(you dumb-ass schmuck)
and continue to sit
till it comes unstuck.

NOTE: I share toilets and showers where I live. Here ... if the door is closed it's occupied, no need to knock. Although fictionalized (it wasn't the stroganoff) this truly happened recently. So yeah, I loathe being interrupted when I'm dealing with it as best I can.

PROMPT Pick something you loathe.
