Sensations
In the bath I’m…
A mermaid murmuring indistinct melodies
A floating fish with fins aflutter
A shark sliding slick through seaweed thick
An elegant eel heading upriver
A leaf afloat like a thin green boat
A silent submarine too deep to be seen
In the shower I’m…
A rock rammed to rubble by the weight of a waterfall
A burning house being thoroughly doused
A hardy explorer caught in a hailstorm
A towering tree in a massive monsoon
A grubby Porsche in a churning carwash
An upright umbrella under a spouting sky
A mermaid murmuring indistinct melodies
A floating fish with fins aflutter
A shark sliding slick through seaweed thick
An elegant eel heading upriver
A leaf afloat like a thin green boat
A silent submarine too deep to be seen
In the shower I’m…
A rock rammed to rubble by the weight of a waterfall
A burning house being thoroughly doused
A hardy explorer caught in a hailstorm
A towering tree in a massive monsoon
A grubby Porsche in a churning carwash
An upright umbrella under a spouting sky
