The Shower
by Robert JudeAce
copyright 08-16-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
In the shower
I watch the skin of shedding selves
Swirl down the drain…
I listen to water songs
As my skull sinks
Further into the abyss…
I close my eyes
(my body
without its skin
is just a skeleton of tomorrow.)

In the shower, I am immortal-
There is nothing
But the art of cleansing oneself…
There is nothing
But vapor and heat
To open the pores of past lifetimes:
And sweat out the poisons
Of modern living-

In the shower
I am alone
And exposed
To my cubbyhole
Smallness of existence.

I loved this, I loved the images it inspired.
"Where saints and madmen play" I think I have been there.
