April 1st: Have You Ever?

Have you ever
bonked in the shower?
I do not mean
“bonked” in the way in which
a marathon runner, plying his craft
would mean it, but instead ask
if you have ever
rooted, or
frigged in the shower?
Let me tell you:
It has to be
glooooorrr-eeeeee-yus;
fantaSTIQUE;
magNIFico! Just think:
The way bodies mingle
like two swirling halves of a
yin-yang circle, always
distinct and whole but
still connected in that gray spot
that makes an airtight seal
between those squirming bodies?
OH, EXcellent!
Or how you feel a distinct
dichotomy, a paradox
in the pounding cleanliness
and the pounding filthiness
as one cascades down on your tangled hair
and the other cascades down your tangled legs?
exQUISite!
Both soiled and clean,
like a batch of soapy lutefisk,
singular and plural,
like moose,
refreshed and exhausted,
like that same marathoner,
spent and content,
like scrumping in the shower.
