Container | Oct 01 2001

Was about to leave, was already late, when I realized I needed to pee. Went into the hall (the bathroom I share with the guy next door is in the hall) and heard the shower running: the guy, my neighbor, was in the shower. Thought of not peeing, of holding it in, only that seemed stupid: might be an hour or more before I reached a toilet. Went back into the apartment, took a used plastic container from the shelf and peed into that, standing by the sink. Didn’t have, unfortunately, any large size yogurt containers, which meant I had to be careful not to pee too much and overflow the container. Stopped, without trying to, just short of this. Dumped the contents into the sink, directly into the drain. Ran the hot water for a time and left the container to soak with water and soap. Thought, must remember to discard this.
