An honest mistake

An honest mistake
by Ivan Jenson
mirror mirror in the stall
who is this man in
this reverberating room
who just moments ago
excused himself
and left his date
to collect his thoughts
and a
few mints
and why is he
splashing his face
with tap water
and then
pressing
his hands into
prayer position
in the air dryer
while wishing
for this night
to end
with a kiss
and now
the object
of his desire
enters that
sacred
place
and he
realizes
he is in
the ladies room
