Studies for Restroom Wall Art
1
Sometimes all that's
left is pissing
on the world to
let it know you've
been there.
2
You can lead a dog outside,
but can't make him poo
or fetch you a rabbit
perfect for stew.
3
One drink short of suicide,
two drinks short of Paradise.
What to do, what to do.
4
Nature:
the fierce embrace
that crushes all
of us at last.

Animal (1&2), Man, and Nature!
Want to see it as intended, but not on MY restroom wall! : ) *
I just killed the first and last lines of a piece I recently finished and am convinced it was a brilliant edit.
I really like this, but in my current, probably deluded state of mind, would recommend dumping 4. You can’t go wrong with the trinity.
That’s surely all BS advice, but this isn’t; that first stanza is killer. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing
Like.
Thanks you, Matt, Joani, Steven, and Sam for your readings and comments. I'm very grateful.
Yes ;^) Perfetto dear sir. Peace *
That's one deeply philosophical restroom.
Love all - but 3 the best.
Thanks, Linda. I try to listen to good advice.
Sally- it's gotta be a restroom serving a sad little bar, I think. Sad little bars are very philosophical, perhaps even metaphysical places. Thanks for reading and the comment.
I first saw this on a rest room wall, but recently learned it's actually attributed to Kurt Vonnegut. 'To be is to do - Socrates To do is to be - Sartre Do Be Do Be Do - Sinatra' Anyway ~ I love the concept and content for your piece. Fire up that Sharpie and get crackin'!

Thanks, Michael. You have much more literate restroom users in your neighborhood than any whose scratchings I've ever read hereabouts.
indeed! fave.
