Urinals are strange places <br />where men stand <br />like itinerant sweet-peas <br />against temporary trellises <br />and fumble. <br /> <br />Men are lucky. <br />They can stand while they piss <br />and play cards or violas <br />or kiss. <br /> <br />When I was a child <br />high toilet-walls <br />were greenly-defiled <br />by years of competitions: <br />boys <br />raising litre by metre. <br /> <br />Men are lucky. <br />They can stand while they piss <br />and angle for strange fish <br /> <br />like St. Peter.<br /><br />Anthony Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fishermen-3/
