Lavatory
Everyday, every weekday,
besides the window,
with the help of the sun,
with the glow,
I have a room to be alone,
I have my space,
away from folks,
the silence around the walls,
the peace of clean blocks of tiles,
the mirror stand,
that white basin dripping water,
above a mirror ,
that black door,
opposite is a huge building,
up to 10 floors,
noise from the school learners
wonder if they notice her,
taking pictures of her entire self,
as a hobby I guess,
does any of them ever think??
" why she sits long in there??"
I have a room to myself,
a pal I don't see,
a silent mate I can't touch
sitting on the loo,
who hath such a pal??
who could have??
apart from a soul without human connection,
there she is,
without joy,
with void,
so many thorns,
let her out!!
