PUTTING UP WITH SHIT...LITERALLY!!!

By Zhee

(inspired by my new patient...)

Fraught with fecal stench,
The first breath of morning
Depraves fragile olfaction
Rendering its futile warning...

Elude their bouts of frenzied rage,
Converse with empathy refined,
Battle the dread and nausea
And just examine the mind...

Greet excreta laden walls,
Pacify the revolted heart,
Discern the clandestine meaning
In your patient’s work of art!

(for those who even once thought my work was simple!)
