I Hate Shower Day
I think I might stand here forever,
mostly under this hot water,
if only because I can’t go back now
without getting the pillow wet
besides, I am wide awake
and mildly entertained
by parts of me I don’t often see
in suspended animation –
not of much
use as such
which is enough to make one pruny hand reach out
to turn off the water.
In good faith, I arrest my final comfort.
three days of
my worldly existence
rinsed away
It is worse than naked!
Colder than before.
