Away From DeskA Poem by Sarah Jane
Bathroom sinks call out to me
As I rinse my soapy hands I tap a plug into the center And take a mighty plunge My feet hit the spicket Turning the water off once full My dimensions shrink too As I fall into the pool The warmth over rides me As i float and swim about Watching the giants Wash their own hands From my tiny sink I sing Of peace and pay and food Until a ping of guilt hits me I pull the plug with tiny strength And let the water drain Crawling from the bowl My body begins to grow I step away from the mirror Intently watching myself Time to go back, it seems A few paper towels later And I'm leaving that sink behind © 2013 Sarah Jane |
