After the equator
stood under the sun, ditches
wetten or dry out

#MastoPrompt Friday 20th March 2026: #gutter
@stevencudahy
From the dank, malodorous depths of the #gutter, he smiled up at the passers-by.
No help offered, needed, nor welcomed.
Most skirted round his lice-ridden, filthy body.
All wondered at his smile, which helped to sustain the smile in all its gap-toothed glory.
He had tried.
Led.
Bullied.
Cajoled.
Pleaded.
Begged.
But no one wanted to stand up for themselves.
His smile?
The abdication of all responsibility, even for himself.
The #MastoPrompt for Friday 20 March 2026 is:
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

They said “These things, they don’t just happen”
They wanna know
They asked if I’m a whore
They took my dress
They swabbed my white car
I hope they're dead now
I hope they’re fucking dead now
