Am Shower Thoughts
A.M. Shower Thoughts
For boredom’s sake,
I used to like to take
An ice cube out of my drink
When I was cleaning dishes after dinner,
And placing it in the sink
I’d watch, somewhere between enthralled and bored,
The luke-warm water
Bore a widening hole
Straight to the ice’s center,
As if to release its soul.
Now, each morning,
I wake to water pouring
Over my morning mind
As if to thaw a hole down straight to my brain –
It’s here I’ve come to find
My deepest, most profound inspired thoughts
Start to take wing,
Like they were buried deep
Within a frozen brain
Just waiting for release.
