The Alternative

The Alternative We lived on the third floor the loo was in the basement I saw my aunt peeing in the sink while mother was out It took days to figure out who she did it, I asked my sister She wanted to know why so I told her, but females speak Told my mother….trouble. I often peed in the kitchen sink at night, what else could I do? Ghosts on steps and landing fat rats having a bath in the bowl I never told my mother if she came into the kitchen I pretended brushing my teeth, I also masturbated into it but that was only when I was sure to be alone. My mother was strict with the hygienic routine we had a big towel And since there were four of us we had a corner each.
