On the right wall of the stall
above the toilet paper holder
was printed in pen, "Nietzsche said,
God was dead."
In an annebriated sense of contrariness
I wrote below, "God said,
Nietzsche was dead."
When next I had occasion to use
the same stall, someone had added below,
"Are you for real?"
Under that, I drew a clown-like figure pointing
at a precarious stick figure on a tightrope.
