Let Us Use the Loo

let's use the loo she said
as if it does not have Covid all over the seat
As if there is not feces on the floor
as if it is okay
Give me a diaper I told my grandmother
She stared at me for a long time.
You are thirty-four she said
That's right I replied
Old enough to know better than to use a public restroom
