Functional Poem by shimon weinroth

until you can't
you never realize
how wonderful it is
to pee,

like so many
other functions denied
take over the mind,
upset the rest

raise the quotient,
notions turn to emotions,
and common place
displace calm with fear,

rearrange and derange
pride and priority
cry out
oh let me be

as I used to be
to control
free and easy
lax and untaxed

each next time
prime time turns,
and returns to banal
full of hope and overcome

relief leaves space,
to dabble
and moralize
the tenents of belief
