Hi MC - thanks for stopping by!
I'm glad that it all made some sort of sense - you seem to have got the point of it, if there is a point!

Interesting subject for a poem.
And a well written poem.

this is really good!
great original imagery, and the feelings of embarassment come across well, but the way you crawl out of the bathroom and take off to the jungle...is amazing. I like the progression and transformation, transcendental imagination this one! I am glad I stopped by, it was worth it.

Hello everyone - thanks for your lovely comments!!
I think it might be the end of the pants, though. Depends whether the red wine stains come off or not!

Now you're talking.Metaphors for Mother Earth.Glad 4 yr stained pants LOL!
Tony--about my sonnet, you remain the inspiration to get me off my self-pitying, South African and ethnic accents ...to try to imagine the stressed & unstressed syllables in each word I use from the language in my sonnet efforts. And so to with ordinary topics...I wish I had more than 14 lines in my last sonnet to say more about each one. And of those I simply called "YOU, STARs". Bhaskar might have been mentioned by name, and Moon...confession: Moon was in the first draft. Then I thought he won't mind being next to STAR.......lol. Excuse me. shalomfromneil

Tonyz..lol..I can sure identify with this one as I work in a group home
my motto, "always check your pants before leaving work" - you never know what may have been spilt, coughed up, er..no, I'll quit while I'm ahead ..
