i take a long
bath
to settle my nerves,
to soothe
my aching bones.
it's a hot
bath.
no bubbles or Calgon
though,
please i'm a man
for God's sake,
what would
people
think.
i leave my self-help books
in the other room.
i do light a candle though,
and turn the light
off,
i put on some soothing
music.
and lie back on my
rubber
inflatable pillow.
i sip on a glass
of chardonnay.
then the dog comes in.
he wants
to join me.
so i lift him up
and carefully lower
him in.
