Just outside the unfinished entry.
Stood a chubby porta- potty.
Painted a nontoxic baby blue.

With promises of relief,
It tried to lure me into its dank interior.

Forget the sweet-talk.
I refuse.

Cross my fingers.
Cross my legs.
I won't step through your plastic door.

I've done it before
And, frankly.
It stinks.


(Nothing says home, like a porta-potty outside your front door.
