twenty minutes to lunch
time to toilet the psycho-geriatrics
some are wheeled to the bathroom
then transferred to a commode
some are helped
into a cubicle
one mumbles to herself
mum mum mum mum
mum mum mum mum
and leaves wet sock prints
all the way from her lounge chair
down the corridor
and into the bathroom
for her
the signal that it is toilet time
is also the signal
to wee
