A Hot Shower, Not Poem by Linda Hepner
A Hot Shower, Not
This shower’s never hot enough
Not hot enough
However high I turn the knob
It runs hot for a minute, quite hot, then lukewarm
And there it stays.
It’s been like that for months and weeks and days.
So should I call my plumber, PhD?
Or call my best friend Lotty, “me me me”?
The plumber, though he plumbs, is out to rob
And Lotty may well think I’m out to warn
Her of the cost of owning….homes…. and stuff.
Unreasonable demand for constant flow?
Well, this tank needs refilling and a spot
Of tinkering, because it may be slow
But come on God! I like it HOT!

This poem is about nothing!
I like poems like power showers, Linda! They sting as they soothe!
I hear that cold, short showers will give you more 'poetry powers'. Or at least more time to sit and write them.... Seems to be working! - chuck
the simple matters of life must be dealt with also even if not love death tears- the ordinary giving hope that poetry lives in every moment as does this fine poem
lOl can you up the thermostat at the bottom of the waterheater? this comment too is about nothing.
