Borrowed Bathtime

Borrowed Bathtime

Bathtime is neither physical nor literal

It's an emotional state of mind

I step into the coolling

Water

You frown at me condescendingly

Sometimes I am your practice

Daughter

Have I misunderstood physics once again?

My feet are warmer than my heart

And supposedly heat

Rises

In light of my new emotional plight

You've decided you don't like

Surprises

I used to soak in the bubbles

But now I even share my soak

My muscles can never

Relax

I've missed the point once more

Give me my philosophical bathtime
