I have a friend who swears on
hot showers, they're a cure-all
when you're feeling sick or blue
at least you can feel clean, it's true
I've taken up her habit as my own
and find, especially if you moan
a little as the water hits your back
or tell the faucet all your flaws and lacks
if you trace your failings into the steam
they'll evaporate into the mirror's gleam
