Been Here Before (with a Twist)

Sitting on the toilet seat
With two people sleeping in the next room
Trying to shit silently
When it hurts and I must move
To keep the bowels flowing
And the legs from going numb
And the nose is running from
The water and whatever
The nose runs a lot these days

I wish I was alone
So I could lay down naked
Then come back to this throne
When the bowels had more to give
As I drink more water to live
And I’d love to take a shower
But it is such a late hour
And we need to be a awake
At 5:30 am four hours away
It was cabbage and the meats
That I ate at the cheap buffet
And the magnesium citrate I drank
Just a few sips to help food on its way
Through the bowels that have been thin
Acting up for most of this year

Starting with antibiotic
Which lead to C.Diff
Which lead to dehydration
Which lead to kidney infection
Which lead to more antibiotics
Which lead to recurring C.Diff
Which lead to the current issue
That has me sitting on the toilet seat
In the middle of the night
