I had been searching
For what I casually termed
The Samuel Beckett Bog
For a number of years
I had visited many toilets
But none had come close
To satisfying the approved criteria
That was until yesterday
When I found this bog
Hidden in a southern coastal town
It was perfect in all aspects
Reasonably clean without graffiti
Plain magnolia walls not tiled
Mirrors free with three tedious sinks
Two soap containers and one fluorescent tube
Small with a dry humourless floor litter free
I spent only a few minutes in this bog
Just taking in its minimalist atmosphere
My camera captured its likeness only once
Before I was interrupted by a member of staff
I left the building feeling happy and content
As my mission had been completed without Vincent
