Privy

Bret Lundstrom

We join the greats

Every time we sit

To shit

We are never alone

On that porcelain throne

The Einsteins, Carnegies

The Lincolns and Gandhis

Took a part

In that most humane art

Take brief relief

As you sit and think

Wondering who you are

Unburden yourself

And know that you are

Among good friends

Good men, good women

Sit with you

With newspapers and books

Wondering with you
