Carry the tub outside.
Under your arm and with the other
Gather buds, blossoms, and blooms-
toss them in the bath.
Oh, the splash of delight.
Take the garden hose and fill it
Overflowing.
Take your clothes off
and toss them far out of sight.
Dip a toe and then dare dive in!
Bath yourself in the moonlight
silky and smooth.
Sipping good thoughts
while listening to the distance owl-
When you are renewed,
Wrap yourself in your bedsheet
like a butterfly cocoon,
And sleep!
Why do we do the same thing, the same way, each day?
