for the wooden hand sanitizer post

Oh wooden hand sanitizer post,
standing tall at the edge of the tile floor
You offer so much more than sanitized hands
masterfully constructed of timber
stained cherry brown,
like a beacon of hope to the
students walking in the library
Providing us peace of mind
A weapon in the war against germs
You are lonely and jealous of bathroom sinks
yet constantly offer protection
We take you for granted
with our strong immune systems
Only I notice your yearning for sweaty palms
they neglect your healthy gel!
You just want to be held
rubbed in
relied on
