I  S. M. E. L. L.

Written 2019-08-12

Two weeks without a shower... 

In the middle of the night I awoke to the smell of me... 

I’ve used wipes, hair salons, and cornstarch... 

Today, with the Dr's permission, I hope to get the drains out... 

Then 24 hours more and I can stand beneath a long earned cascade of cleanse... 

It’s been interesting to smell pungent for long...

Reminiscent of my college semester in Nigeria...
