Industrial Stength Cleaner Can't Get Rid of Memories

pop!
pop, pop, pop!

soap bubbles
ringing in your ears
long after the
bath is gone.

pop!

can’t get the
dirty
out of your mind
even if the
soap bubbles
got it off your body.

pop!

red-tinged water
flows down the drain
and out of your tub,
but the solid remains
of true lust
remain forever more.

pop.

suddenly,
simple pleasures
sound so sinister.
