Sliding into the bath this morning,
Was more an act of defiance
Then a ritual act of cleaning,
And a pleasurable dalliance.

Yesterday —

My doctor said (strongly suggested)
That I shouldn't have baths, showers are safer,
If I ever, on the off chance, seizured, because I forgot to take my medication,
Or, as I am trying to do, stop taking them altogether,
Aren't the laws of nature good? Just? Complementary?!
If I have another, isn't that injustice?!
Snt cleansing the body, not an act of worship?!

Should I live my life by the law of ‘off chances”?
I think not!

Today —
This bath is my protest.
And I am sipping coffee and eating pastries in here, too!
