the shower

i just showered
cleansed from
time behind
water drips
forming quiet
diamonds on my
dirty body
wondering how
i survive too much
and thanking
stamina for keeping
me on my toes.

i'm clean now
save a little dark
spot on the inside
but its difficult to
get everything in
one sitting.
pity and happiness
are the two new
feelings.

not sadness.

"This may sound naive. But-is our
life ever to have any reality?
Are we ever going to live on
the level OR is life always to
be something else, something
different from what it should be?"
