Do You Have PPE For Self-Esteem?

Hand and Knees
Scrubbing dirt from the mens room floor
The automatic urinal flush comes on and I get sprayed in the face
New thoughtful ways to degrade

Wheezing and eyes glazed
I bunk off in a fog of human residue to write poetry about how much I hate my job
“Do you have PPE for self-esteem”?

“Do you have PPE for self-esteem”?
