“Do you have a bathroom?”
“Customers only!”
“Restroom?”
“No!”
It was the wrong question
what he needed to ask was
“If I give you a dollar
can I use the toilet?”
2 liquor stores
a head shop, a Verizon store -
no bathrooms!
“Did I come all the way
from Sioux City
just to die
from a ruptured bladder!?”
He saw people pissing in alleys
onto mailboxes
into mail slots
onto doorknobs
“I wasn’t raised that way!”
Finally he came
to Mitchell Brothers Strip Club
“Can you believe
$25 to get in here
just to use the bathroom!?”
he told his 3rd lap dancer
and his 4th.
