THE NEED TO.

[dadio]

Enid holds
the wee in
focusing

nothing else
not Miss A
in the class

history
being taught
about kings

or their queens
matters now
just the need

right now to
urinate
her eyes strain

to focus
on the floor
on a foot

someone's shoe
a chair leg
on Miss A

standing there
by the board
but Enid

wants to go
to the door
but too late

small wet patch
on the floor.
