My Friend's Ear

My friend's ear is my kitchen sink of stainless steel
where I puke, bitter words pushing up like acid


on my esophagus, rushing past the throat
full of indigestible vocabulary others made me eat.

I use it as my toilet bowl to defecate on,
when spasms and cramps contract my abdomen,

my bowels unable to halt fluid like secretion
crashing against the white-glazed porcelain.

My friend knows when to press the lever down
on the pop-up drain, to clear himself of all my stains.
