Germaphobe


no
I will not change my sheets today
I will roll in my own filth
like the disgusting monster
l am

I am
the dirt under my fingernails and the grimy dust on my window sill
the dropped food on the kitchen floor and the shit from our shoes at the doorstep
the lint stuck to my feet from my socks and the grease left on my fingers from a packet of chips

I am
a germaphobe and
I am
a germ
