Torch in the Sewer (celebrating Bathroom Graffiti, the book, by Terry Smith)
Terry Smith, you!
Filthy genius!!
I read your
Bathroom Graffiti
(ain't no metaphor)
Talk a meta-whore!
Pick the devil's pocket
Your paradigm
coded as
a book of
sinner's rhyme
So clever

and exorcise
that devil!
I aspire to
your level

Terry Smith had a predecessor. I can recall a magazine article in the 70s about a then newly published book of toilet graffiti, including a translation of one from Vienna:
"When you sit as on the throne of the gods your hear the rumbles thunder under you."

That's hilarious! Sounds a bit more lighthearted of a poet, though... Terry is darker in topic coverage. Terry is one of ours, trying to survive cancer right now, if you are interested... you can find him on Ahavati's author thread in the speakeasy forum.
