not even trying 
ideas flowing craft the details
varnished chuck the mess /
in cupboards and closets
relate the episode that occurs before the clean:
last thing you told me
is ' everything's changeing ' / won't post your letter
describing what i mean to you
it's two weeks overdue
in twenty four hrs
i have a house inspection / find eight of your bobby pins
purchase Domestos, Mr. Sheen and Jif
splatter all in the oven / she complained about last visit
give it thirty minutes / should drink all three leave her a nasty
 surprise / could have three weeks ago lying on the carpet
 sitting on the toilet but she'd probably only flush my residue
leave you my poem ' cock ring ' on the answering machine
no reply / a sign which means to forsake me you would
 have come over as last time and ran me through / maybe you've
 decided to give it a night tommorrow is a better day when / subsides
  be all self righteous about graciously taking the burden by
  yourself for a full 24HRS / be myself for 24 hrs / my ex - boyfriend bought me
this vibrator to use when he was'nt around. It was huge !!! I could'nt fit it all in
when I used it on my own. When we used it however I could take it all. In fact,
when he removed it, I did'nt want him to. What was it like - it was awesome ... /
when you leave do not think back on me and tell your friends in hindsight about
our times as if you pretend to know me at all / the amount i was going to drink
cleans my oven perfectly / you are awesome
no you are no you are promised not to squeeze
do you feel secure me cupping your balls in
my hand must ask
did you
i was nearly there so nearly
i was ! really
the truth why you're holding back
holding back let go 
/ the time after / phone has rang twice two telemarketers
souless to sell / waiting for your reply so I can clean / my brain will pass 
 this between it's curly folds / then return / i'll crawl underneath the table now for
 a while / down to the beach which is there underneath my table. tan, surf, swim
with ichthyosaurs / ----
