the bathroom as a holy sanctuary

Been setting the water at different tempatures to see which one I really like. For the last 10 years, have all my showers been at my favorite degree or is that just how far my hand knows to turn? Muscle memory. This new, citrus soap smells like mint instead. And the shampoo smells like the first naked woman I saw other than my mom.

- She was a female camp counselor in the YMCA locker room shower after the pool. She gave me her empty, used diet coke 20 oz bottle when my mom sent me to summer camp without one single drink. It was her trash.

- But I saw it treasure. I filled it with tap water from the bathroom sink and I drank from it all summer long.
