Tag Archives: Public Bathrooms

New York City, 2026

Somewhere, in an all-gender bathroom,

The attack helicopters hover

At opposite ends of the row of urinals

Not speaking to each other

But grateful that the war is over.

I stand between them,

Pretending that I’m peeing.

In a nearby stall

The aardvarks howl.

#Relatable

So you know when you’re in public

And you kinda need to poop

So you go into the restroom

And kinda do a stoop

And pray that all the excrement

That needs to leave your bum

Will flow into the toilet

Before your knees get numb?

You wait and wait for seven years

(The watch would say 1 minute)

‘Til you let loose a bunny turd

And you say, “That’s good, innit?”

And then you do the little walk

Back to the restaurant table

And though you still have to poop

You also want to seem mentally stable?
