Day of Three Showers

The first - a vain attempt to cleanse the soul.

The second - a customary rinse of sweat from a run.

The third - necessary defense against the itchy consequences of visiting a barber.

It's not that a shower is particularly special ... but so rare is the day that I'd take three.

Multiples of the mundane -
Suddenly charged with significance.

Might the days in my ordinary life
add to such a revelation sometime?
