What would Freud think
by Patricia J ReedSteamy shower secrets
Where I hide from the world
To soak in
My imperfections
And dirty dislikes
Water falls from heights
I dare not reach
Plays with my toes
And elopes with my confidence
As they run away
Holding hands
Down the darkening drain
Like an eye
To the center of my soul
Black
And going nowhere that I can see

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 08/24/03 at 02:14 AM Freudian look at taking a shower. Hmmm title, "What Can Wash Away My Sins?" or "Down the Drain with Dirty Little Secrets" or "Scrub'a-dub dub, Once in a Tub" or "Freud Takes a Shower". LOL! Well at least it's a start! |
| Posted by David Neubauer on 08/24/03 at 03:43 PM Another amusing journey into a normally mundane task. Very well done. "Cleanse" as a title? or something along those lines... |
