Door to the Ladies Room or Finding My Nietzsche
April 11, 2016
Cinereal
Drab
Putty
portal
door opens
women
and the men
who clean up
after them
Go in
and out
all day long
random office
chit- chatter
laughter
and sighs
of relief
echo
out
in front
of my
niche
I was grateful
for the proximity
the ease
the faded gold
convenience
of it
all
said
and
done
I need to move on, live my truth, go all in.
It is time to flush.
