A simple bath, enough to blow the mind. Amidst the rush of the tap, the swell of the bubbles, I sink. All things outside the ceramic case cease to exist. Just me, weightless and sweltering in the too hot heat. I find escape in anything I can, but none so resolute as the water dulling my hearing, puckering my skin, splaying my hair out like i'm beautiful. The crack in the side pops indignantly wrenching me harshly back to the tub and reminding me of my careless landlord, indulgent in his bachelor pad while I decay into poverty.
the perverts are annoying. i once met a middle aged man who was impressed with how fast i can finish my sudoku puzzle, and asked if he can stare at me while i finish another. then he asked for my number. it was strange.
regards,
