Fifteen to the bathroom

a trickle became a river
the feet in the aisle
9:30pm in Medway
the bus suddenly emptying
an impromptu bathroom break

six became fifteen
soon more like twenty
twenty minutes from home
but the lemmings couldn’t hold it

heading for the sea
one more time together
the bus emptying
because the children had to pee
