Poop is everyday, until it becomes language
Everyone deals with it daily.
But the moment it turns into words,
the atmosphere shifts.
It’s labeled crude, childish, inappropriate.
Quietly removed
from what we’re “allowed” to think about seriously.
The issue isn’t dirt — it’s lack of control
Poop doesn’t follow plans.
Not timing. Not condition. Not convenience.
What society resists isn’t filth,
but proof that the body
doesn’t obey intention.
The first thing cut from productivity stories
Efficiency. Growth. Improvement.
These narratives leave no room for elimination.
Yet without release, systems fail.
What isn’t allowed to exit
finds another way to distort things.
Why it’s turned into a joke
Because seriousness has no container for it.
Laughter makes it lighter,
but not clearer.
So the discomfort stays, unnamed.
