.well one.

You know
that line from the Matrix when
Agent Smith says:
"This zoo....I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell"
That's how I feel.

The smell of the
the subways and the streets.
(the streets are covered with dog shit and the subways are nothing more than homeless shelters, hidden away from view and pushed to the back of the mind)
An over baked cake of:
urine human excrement wet newspapers sewer filth
and
dirt, so much dirt.

I just want to take a bottle of Clorox
and some towels
and just start.
Start to clean.

I cannot
wait
to get away.
I'm crawling out of
my skin.
I cannot get clean.
