Pissy Mood

Lol, ok so this is probably the silliest and grossest poem I’ve ever written, but it was for a poetry class and we were studying personification— specifically the difference between apostrophe and prosopopoeia. I believe this is prosopopoeia because it is a conversation between a piss and a shit. Well… Enjoy!




Hey you!


Yeah, you!


You’re an asshole, you know that?


Yeah, I said it.


You’re a real asshole for what you did.


Everything was all

mellow and yellow;

happy and gay;

until you had the nerve

to dump this

shitty situation on me.



And now,

I’m in a real pissy mood.

I just can’t let it go.

I feel so heavy

and crappy.

So I wanted to let you know

that a bitch is not happy.



Why can’t you learn to keep your shit to yourself?

Oh, because you’d explode?

Then get a stronger stomach or

put this heavy shit on someone else--

like maybe a therapist

or psychoanalyst?

Man, I don’t know--

that’s for you figure out!


Ah, ah, ah!

I don’t want to hear your excuse--

I can already tell you it stinks cuz

I know how much you love to

talk out of your ass.

Just shhhhhhh...

After that bomb you just dropped

I’d rather we just cut this talk short

so I can flush this moment

out of my memory.
