Toilets

For throughout the white plastic pipe of life, there are many elbow joints, sometimes two in a row so that you double back upon yourself, and sometimes there is a u-turn which is affected by gravity, such as in the back of a toilet, so that you will keep building your life up and up, becoming more and more successful, until one day it gets too full, you lose grip of it all, and as you grasp for one thing another runs away, so you let go and go after it, but it was already gone, and by the time you come back for the rest of it, your bowl is empty, letting you see the stains on the side, undistorted by the water, unmagnified by your mind, just simple failures which made you who you are. And after you stop crying, you will realize that it was the best day of your life.
