Smooth, clean, surrogate
White
Crystallised and polished
Shiny
Reflective and disorienting
After the initial strain
The first log falls
Marks the surface
With a tarred blemish
The smell is unmistakably
Rotten
Core elements dumped
Relocated to a safer, sanitised place
Texture, imperfect
Persistent, attached, glazed
Informational analysis returns
Splattered droppings as errors
Report comes out skewed
Insisting on imminent system failure
Wiping every sector clean
Is hardly an easy or enjoyable task
Doubt over prior misconduct
Instructs that a devaluation
Of cost and effect
Should be delivered
Presented, projected
Right on off-white, two-ply, gnarly, daftly, surly
Discounted latrine paper
