Frightening
Doggerel
Dirty
Story: rupophobia*
He had a
savage fear of dirt—
So savage
that it sometimes hurt.
He stayed
inside, did not go out.
At any
fleck of dirt he’d shout.
And then
of course he finally died—
And in
that box he stayed inside.
But coffins
rot—then earth appears.
So he’ll become
the dirt he fears.
*2nd time I've used this word ... oh, well: different poem, though!
