Every word of that phrase
Incomprehensible
Not in English or any language
Should those words be allowed to be seen
Together
In a pit latrine should not refer
To anything
Nothing should be in a pit latrine
Menstrual blood should not be
In a pit latrine
The results of a cheap take out meal
Should not be seen
In a pit latrine
Old news should not be
In a pit latrine
Shame should not surround
A pit latrine
Like the lingering smell
Spreading out
And back down
Into deeper shame
A thing should not be in a pit latrine
Slipping out of a hand
Or pocket or sleeve
No thing should be in a pit latrine
A body should not be
In a pit latrine
A body should not be allowed to slip into those words
A body is was a person
If we destroy the words can we destroy the thing?
It should be easy. Like destroying a person.
Cheap cheap it seems.
