keep it simple, keep it clean
it's tuesday; after all this time, we're still in love with the typical things.
*
Years later we'll remember the bathtub:
the position of the taps
the water, slippery
as if a bucketful of eels had joined us...
we'll be old, children grown up
but we'll remember the water sloshing out
the useless soap,
the mountain of wet towels.
'Remember the bathtub, back when...?'
we'll prod each other --
*
