Bathroom Prayers

The only time I prayed or the first I can remember are the ones from bathrooms. Snorting lines of coke off the back of a toilet praying that no one caught me. Or in the bathroom at my mother's losing my mind from all the LSD I've eaten praying I don't stay like that. Or in the bathroom where I use to cook meth praying that I didn't blow the place up. Praying in my brothers bathroom because I think my heart is going to explode. Praying in the bathroom of the courthouse downtown that the judge wouldn't throw me away for life. Praying in the bathroom of a hotel in Florida because the guys corvette I stole is pounding on the door. Praying in the bathroom at Baton Rouge general that my baby wouldn't be deformed.
