Drug Testing

When the NCAA drug tests you,
it's at six in the morning.
As soon as your eyes open you have to pee
but you realize that you can't
because you have to take a "test"
hooray!

The trip from the house
to the stadium
is the hardest part
because everything makes you want to pee:
the slight drizzle in the air
the sprinklers
the man on the side of the road peeing.

Against the cold metal chair
in the team room
all you can think about is getting in the bathroom,
but you have to wait
since there is only one NCAA representative
and 10 randomly selected teammates.

Your turn finally comes
and you head to the stall
to pee when he says 
"no I have to watch".

Afterward,
on the way back to bed,
you wonder if his job
is entry level
or somewhere high above the glass ceiling.
