Intermission

Intermission – get on line,
Which mostly seems to crawl,
Just to have the pleasure of
Two minutes in the stall.

Do your business, wash your hands
And climb two flights of stairs,
Then squeeze past people who won’t move
And fix you with their glares.

Broadway shows are special treats
But will be better when
The aisles and women’s restrooms
Aren’t blueprinted by men!

Well, you have to give me the benefit of the doubt...never been in a ladies' room, but I expect you're right re most points mentioned...although I've heard of female architects! enjoyed the read:) // paul

ha! i'm sure there are female architects but i'd guarantee that if they designed a public restroom, it would be better equipped than the ones i've been to! thanks for reading...

Very nice and insightful write. I love the way you invite readers in for a night out, tres leches for dessert or the frustration brought on while waiting for unanswered texts. Thank you for sharing.

Yes,. yes, a poem that is VERY True. WEll, I have never been lucky enough to get to see Broadway from inside (I only walked down it on my one trip to NYC) but if it is like in sports stadiums and every other place on God's green earth where men have installed restrooms for females, it is the truth!
