The Bathroom

The Bathroom

closing locked doors with

secrets bounding off papered walls

 

sound proof

ostentation not allowed but

its a comfortable space

like cozy jackets

mirror of sponges.

self absorbing timbers for

moots long imprisoned 

nine inch grey and steel

prisms of pride

secret service protected

more iron clad dowries

password redundancy 

stuck                           

like Walmart greetings

tap tap his cigarettes 

he packs tight and

lights it 

to lip

now why haven't I thought of writing about it? not in a poem though. you did that pretty well.
people won't openly talk about it but it certainly is the favoured retreat of many. mine at any rate. that's where I make important decisions like getting married or deciding to have kids.
good to read you again, E.

Reminds me of someone I know close to home. The best kind of writing is the honest kind, without too much verbose wordiness to its expression, and saying this makes you one of the best ... bravo.

Singing "Smokin' in the boys' room!" :) Oh, if those papered walls could speak.....that is one take on this well written poem. However, I also see a prisoner sitting in his cell waiting for the guards to walk away so he can light up a smoke. Then again, I see a person not willing to show he has self esteem...hiding for reasons unknown. In any case, your words are certainly thought provoking....and I enjoyed them. Lydi**

Hey you ... the wool may have obstructed the orbits but the linger of the stench of vice remains ... flushing the evidence will not do it ... I can smell cigarettes or whatever else you may be smoking days after ... you will be nabbed by the loving narc. Enjoy in moderation:):):)

[Einstein Noodle]
