The serenity prayer and a Shakespeare sonnet <br />appear on the bathroom wall, <br />stalls heavily sodden with urine- <br />Who cleans these public restrooms anyway? <br />a Spanish lady named Maria, <br />all Spanish women bear this name- <br />She cleans them no doubt, so well <br />the bleach leaves stains. <br /> <br />I thought about leaving behind <br />a few words of my own, maybe <br />a hope psalm- <br />But ya know, <br />being in the presence of a memory <br />I'm seeing through a stranger's eyes, <br />has made me do something I never do.... <br />I miss you<br /><br />Amberlee Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-fourth-stall/
