throw in the towel
it is stained
with blood
smeared with shit
soaked with big fat
salty tears
it isn't worth
the cycle and detergent
this towel
too shrunken & tattered
to wrap around
our bodies
too forlorn to hang
on the rack
it's no company towel
this towel
it was beautiful once
purple & plush
bargain royalty from Sears
but now it's just sad
this little towel of ours
towels are dispensable
throw it in
