Ablutions

a.m. the sink

Turn on the taps. Put in the plug.
Adjust flow until temperature is just so.
Examine hollows beneath eyes in mirror.
When basin is full, stop the water.
Rub on soap and ablute vigorously.
After washing, apply make-up – remember those bags –
and do note: less is more.


p.m. the bath

Turn on the taps. Put in the plug.
Select comfortable temperature and proceed
to remove, and fold, clothes. Memorize reflection.
N.B. Do not allow to overflow – be mindful of the clean-up
tomorrow. Climb in. Recline.
To prevent mess on the tiles, keep limbs confined.
Open vein lengthways and allow to drain till hollow.
