Why do humans take a soapy shower?
I have no idea the frog replied to his brother.
Do you think I could have one?
I don’t see why not.
Do we have to buy soap suds?
No. I can steal them.
Okay.
The soapy shower was horrible.
Why do humans like this?
There is soap in my eyes and my mouth hurts.
No idea said his brother. Now are you glad we are frogs?
Yes! Let’s go shake this soap off in the lagoon.
sufficiently scrubbing
simple soap
strips stealthy virus’s
slick, lipid skin—
surfactants sending
sabotaged virus
slip sliding sewer bound!
Uttering sugar-coated words is one dimension
Promising to love is one aspect, we must love
Walking on the head is crazy, we must embark on the mission
That proves our readiness and willingness to give
Stacks of moons and stars we promise
In our haste to gain social mileage
In the wake of the longing we increase
On our Facebook page
Cos promising belittles the dignity
Inherent in a spirit of true sacrifice
Which gives the little it can both here and at infinity where affinity
Traverses promise chasms and holds that it doesn’t suffice
To raise hopes on sentimental slopes we intend to dash
At the earliest opportunity we exploit then cut and run
Like the yellow cowardice we flash
When partners demand more than the fun
We long to access in the social process
Where we profess to give much
Deliver less than we access in terms of genuine progress
We purloin as soon as hallowed happiness from others shamelessly we snatch.
My utopia has soap
I like mine hung from a rope
When the world gets rough
soap bubbles help me cope
Lather up here and there
wash away every care
I love the smell of my shampoo
as it permeates my hair
Don't burst my bubbles please
Let me enjoy a bath full of ease
With soft music and candles
a glass of wine and some cheese
My utopia has soap
It endows me with hope
Once again ready for life
Soap bubbles help me cope!
