Slipper bathtub in Amsterdam store window.

 

 

 

 

 

I stuck my toe up the bath tap,

I know what you’re thinking,

it didn’t get trapped.

I wriggled it about,

then pulled back down –

and to my surprise,

it was mucky and brown!

I fear I have broken me,

there is no going back;

I’ve wandered too far,

down this treacherous track.

I strayed here, eyes open,

and couldn’t return,

conditions remaining,

the habit is firm.

I dream of a future,

where I am alone,

asleep with eyes open,

conditioning gone.
