Bacteria
I ride on the mites
crawling in millions unseen
over every inch of your skin
I swim in the drip of piss
you forgot to wipe--
my ocean
dribbling down your thigh
I am the stench of decay
churning inside your guts
and every time you breathe
I multiply
my cells dividing
faster than a human mind
can think
This is my universe
all life is dirt
death is a feast
and I
own
you

that is the most original subject matter i've ever seen. not that i've seen all that much poetry, mind you, but in my humble opinion, you took something so overlooked in the writing world and made it fit right in. muchos kudos.
