Chemi

I resurrected my solitary cooking pan today

from its blackened-ashened demise.

Stainless steel, once again,

was truly stainless.

I was not found thankless

for-

Surprisingly the 'thank you' goes

to a chemical I have used

to clean toothpaste stains off sinks,

to clean skid-marks off toilets,

and to remove guilt-residue

off the surface of

porcelain tubs, employed

for washing off

Yesterday's Sins.

to every purpose exists

a chemical

a chemical for your thoughts.

a chemical for your crimes.

a chemical for cleansing ethnicity.

In aftershocks we find

a Plethora of Potent Chemicals designed

for invention fo kick-ass rhymes.

Life exists after Oxidation.
