HE SHOULD HAVE LOOKED SOMEWHERE ELSE

tired
man 
in the bathroom mirror
looked
for
truth
in the u-bend
and
said this
  
  'cant think of a better metaphor
  more suited to life
  than 
    pissing
  your own 
    shit stains 
  away
  in
  the dull mid-morning'

but
to his credit
the
tired
man
in the bathroom mirror
looked
very
unsure
