Housemate Haiku

1
slimy lettuce weeps
your tonic water’s gone flat
where is my butter?
2
bouquet of mold spores
colors bloom in soiled pint glass
please wash some dishes
3
bright green chunks of phlegm
clinging to shared shower floor
fucking hate that shit

  1. *note: these are not about any housemate in particular. I prefer to think of them as ruminations on the nature of communal living in an urban landscape. Again, these are not about my housemate, but rather a hypothetical housemate-like figure set in dynamic juxtaposition against the voice of the protagonist.
