NOTHING BUT

You—are a perfect
public
restroom;

one by
one people
come to you

they need you more
than they really
choose you

they fill you
up and (if you're
lucky) empty you.

Weird thing mostly
is how—
what's left

in your guts
in your soul
in your middle

still keeps refilling—though
somehow just
a little

emptier
each
time.
