What are subway bathrooms for?



But subway bathrooms have long occupied an inner ring of the city’s underworld, each grim, battered door a portal to a multisensory nightmare.
NYT


what are subway bathrooms for?
I'll tell you what they're for
they're detriments to crime
on a scale as yet
unimagined by our 
staid court system

just think of it

a thug who beats up
little old ladies
is sentenced to
five years of
cleaning subway bathrooms

and those places never stay clean
for more than ten minutes

it beats anything 
in Dante's Inferno

or how about
some white collar criminal
who converted
 pension plans
into a beach front mansion
in Saint Kitts and Nevis?

he doesn't just get zonked
with cleaning subway bathrooms
but
is forced to be an ATTENDANT
in subway bathrooms
wearing a white coat
and carrying a whisk broom

with that kind of
retribution
hanging over their heads
you can bet dollars
to Duncan Yo-Yos
 that crooks will not only
turn over a new leaf
but uproot 
the whole darn 
tree
