An Ode to Toilet Paper

POM Prompt

There’s so much value
in a piece of cloth
to clean yourself.
It’s up there with gold
on its value.

A person could run out of
food,
water,
clean clothes,
but you haven’t reached
rock bottom
until you’ve come
to a point
you run out
of toilet paper.

Then you know,
you need helping hands
or a really good friend.
And to call someone
to borrow a little bit
of money.
