 Like the Porch of the Maidens by Raymond A. Foss 
						The row of toothbrushes
 their heads, like the Porch of the Maidens
 that image of their marvel,
 seen so long ago
 Sitting in there
 on the sink edge, stoic
 so like their silent strong sisters
 each standing gracefully
 serene witnesses
 ever so purposely

 seeing this morning a flash of an
 image from my Humanities class
 of 1976-1977 in my mind’s eye
 seeing the electric toothbrushes
 of the girls this morning
 in the bathroom -
 The Porch of the Maidens
