�Reasons Not to Shower�

�Reasons Not to Shower�

A Poem by Marni A. K.

You’re lazy.
You’re tired.
You want to conserve water.
Lice like clean hair.
You got your hair done.
You touched a famous person.
You’re afraid of water.
No hot water.
You don’t have a shower.
You don’t have a bathroom.
You don’t have a house.
You don’t have water.
You want people to stay away from you.
You want to gross out your date.
You can get sent home from work.
You can get sent home from school.
You’re just going to get dirty again.
It’s broken.
It’s a public shower.
It’s a locker room shower.
You don’t want to get foot fungus.
It’s against your religion.
You think the smell of sweat is arousing.
You like your natural scent.
You’re not going out.
You don’t believe in showers.
Your mom isn’t making you.
What is this shower you speak of?
