missed a spot.

__________________________________________________bathroom


washing one's hands is a
mysterious experience
the doors are marked
men and women
we open what's appropriate
and i don't think i've ever seen
the way you wash your hands
i've got a preference
for cold water
and i don't know if you share it
sometimes it's just because
i'm too busy to wait
for the hot to become that way
but then why try
to save time
when the reason for being there
is to hide
let the damn water take all the time it wants
i think i've seen myself enough
but there's always the same
spotty mirror
staring through
usually she looks so tired
that i want to tell her tomorrow will be better
most times your hands are limp
while mine fidget
and your arms look so empty
that i want to be water
slipping between your fingers

...almost fucked this page up royally. it's very late and i can't seem to spell most things right on the first try. oh dear.
