I Smell a Rat
Hateful words-
-Rotten as a spoiled egg
-An unflushed toilet
-A dead rat in a wall
Trigger righteous rage
Urine scented concrete
Stale beer and ashtrays
Remnants of sprayed raid
Dog feces on shoes
Evoke childhood memories
I Smell a Rat
That is that

I “like” that you’ve expressed it so well. I don’t like that those are memories.
