ahem

i stand below the shower stall
and turned the hot side on
i waited till the water warmed
then let the cold side flow

water drizzled upon my person
like so much fallen silk
i clothe myself with a mantle of foam
and began to sing in there

i sang of lost love and betrayal
in an overtly cheerful way
the way i sang that sad sad song
you'd think my heart went to play

more water later
while i sang some more
played one-footed ice-skating
with the soap on the bathtub floor

i wore the soap down a little
the bathtub - it seems clean
i rinsed my toes and all aglow
put back the non-offensive soap

i stepped out of the shower, put on my robe
backwards a step and forwards; two
showerfoam in hand and woo-ooh-ooh
"don't you make my brown eyes blue"
