I haven’t showered in a week or more
Scared of being interrupted in the shower by the interrupter man
Who pulls back the curtain to check on me
If I still breathe
Then apologizes in kind tones
Only to do it again
A second second second later.
In the tub you can see him coming
And this is better
Because I don’t jump
And there are lots and lots of bubbles
To hide tender parts
he wouldn’t dare get his sleeves wet
And have to explain to his wife how they got that way
There’s a rhythm to madness
You just have to find the beat
