Patriarchy’s worst nightmare
Someday, the last gendered toilet will become
*neutral*
The last seat will be put down to rest,
The last manly flush will echo,
The last virile, sturdy, male, bleached gendered toiled
Will close its door
For good
And reemerge
as its unbiased, free, indifferent self
We might not notice then,
Might not see the difference,
So pay attention:
It will still smell like a mixture of urine and chlorine,
Of roses bred in spray bottles,
Of salt ocean waves on acid
It will still be the same uncomfortable cosy temperature after other cheeks sat
If puked in, it will save specks of undigested food under its edge like nothing’s ever changed
We might not notice then,
Might not see the difference
As it is
in our unobservant eyes
still just a toilet
