EVACUATE

 

The sign on the wall

inside the restroom

advised people

to “Evacuate your bowels”

 

and the non-American,

non-anglo staff couldn’t grasp

why this was so funny.

 

I never thought 

of myself as a magician

but that would be

a mighty fine stunt.

 

Although, in truth,

that is what it feels like

on an awful lot of flights.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

clearly, I have too much time on my hands.
