Replying to a comment on:
Three In a Room (Free verse) by Sam
Thereâs tension, something unnamable.
Covering the entire room with
An air of strange yet familiar sensation,
Like the trickling of the water foams
Flushed down the urinal--
Cleansing off the bubbles of congruity
Unspoken words wash away the noise
Of the outside world, eerie silence, invited--
Walls, thickened with erratic heartbeats.
Conversations are halted, words are omitted.
The mirror reflected the same illusion
None would welcome or dare to look at
Tissue papers-- wiped away the false faces,
Coy smiles exchanged through furtive glances,
Indirect and reproachful--wasted on a bin.
One pee after another mingled in the
Pit of the wastes. One tried to make
A connection, two turned down, three dismayed--
Three are of the same kind hidding beneath
The skin of a makeshift world they belong to.
However they alienate themselves from one another
Certain thread link them as oneâ
Inside the cubicle,
Truth is the fiction flushed in the toilet bowl
Turned to reality by their intertwined fallen pubic hair.
