Fifteen to the bathroom – v2

letting off one teacher
at the place where he left his car
something very simple
complicated somehow

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

a thought became a movement
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, quickly,
because the children had to pee
