Shit: another poem.
By sarah 24 Feb 2002
Shit: noun, verb, exclamation, denegration;
<p>the ‘final act’ of a great meal.</p>
<p>An act of giving with no expectation of return.</p>
<p>A purging of the purpled prose of life.</p>
Shit—it falls with scarce a thought and much relief.
<p>The ultimate act of solitary solidarity with the self.</p>
<p>A woman, giving birth, is not alone,</p>
<p>but here there is no divison of the sexes,</p>
<p>in the ingored, ignoble action </p>
<p>of the cycle of life.</p>
<p>Is poetry that different?</p> Tags: poetry defication
