A Poem: “Sanitizer, Anyone?”

 

Years of observations

in men’s washrooms

led me to conclude:

the last thing you touch

before washing hands

is your belt.

 

The one item

you never put

in the laundry basket.

 

I see you in the meeting room,

hand resting on your belt.

There’s a smile,

a handshake.
