Shower

by Jon-Jacob F Deal

I turn the knob and I step in
Another day washed from my skin
Twenty-four man-made hours long
But still I know I must be strong;
Most likely, it will be a while
Before, with an innocent blue-green smile
The shower starts and the Earth spins in
To wash my lifetime from Her skin.

Author's Note: The word "ephemeral" springs to mind... I never really liked that word.
