Another Question

hey, I have to suffer it
every day, the same
things you define as
expressions of normality
rest in places sacred to 

me; the bathroom is not
a great venue for such
reminders – body butter
and restorative crèmes
don’t add much to my 

perspective. I am less
impressed with calls to
vanity which never
eventuate than a clean 

and Spartan washcloth
draped tastefully over
a spigot. Yes, I meant the tap, but 
that’s another question...
