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.
