Men have no idea

what women do

when they go to the restroom

 

for some reason

they always need a companion

as if they could not go alone

 

let's go to the restroom

one will say and soon

there is a whole pack of them

heading off to the women's room

leaving men to ponder

 

maybe they do each others hair

or scrub each other down

or talk about their dates

who knows

whatever it is

they seem so much happier when they return

 

we do not know what it is they do in there

but apparently it requires a witness

and a notary

 

with men it's no big deal

only a brief moment in time and

we are done

 

what do you expect

from such animals

who test the patience

of trees and walls and tires

 

and do it

standing up.
