Showering
(5-3-99)
by David B. Rhaesa
 
While taking my morning shower
Listening to Santana and Buddy Miles
I thought of you
And wondered what your best memory
Of your weekend with your son was
And then I washed away the thought
And decided I just needed to wonder
About my own best memories
At least for five minutes or so.
The perils of love can be such a damn distraction
From living.
But a beautiful distraction it is.
