The Rainforest

The shower is my refuge
It is the sanctuary of my people

The spray from the nozzle and
The drone from the bath fan
Create a sonic canopy
Protecting my rain forest from the harsh conditions of the outside world
The competing foreign interests aged 3-9 that conspire to clear cut this region
And flatten these lands.

The two curtains sealed tight against the tile walls
Sealing in the heat and humidity to let the endangered species thrive
Grow - independent thought
Blossom - ideas of the future
Thrive - creative plans

Then

The CLANG of the metal rings against the rod
Are a chainsaw

Hey daddy
Are you takin' a shower
