i'm not showering any
more frequently than
i typically do
but every time i step in
that bathtub i swear
a whole day goes by
the water falling
turns into soft
concrete
and the drain
stops up and
i'm standing
ankle deep in
a brand new
sidewalk
soap suds running down
my legs and pooling
upon an unwalked path
and heaven only knows
how long before it all cracks
and i'm free.
