I felt a little more than the drops on my back
And I slipped into the wishing well
embracing myself in my own skin on the bath tub floor
A ****** sack of twinkling wishes, I only was

I wish I was a child again
A child again I said
Taking a bubble bath in mid day-
I clogged the drain
Laid down
And waited
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the water to rise
To my mouth
my nose
My ears and eyes

water bubbles spiraled around
It was clear
White
....warm and bright
Like a Hollywood heaven
The water now reached my mouth
It had the taste of diluted tears
And I panted in the halcyon

Then....held my breath

but yet....
NOW I was farthest from being a child again
