Monday Morning Shower

First I shave away 48 hours of facial freedom,
Then I step under the rushing water to wash away
The crust of a summertime weekend
Spent in the sun and on the water:
--Sunblock, bug spray, sand and sweat.

After I have washed away the weekend
I towel off, then head to the bedroom
Where I put on the crust of a Monday morning
To be spent in my cubicle at work:
--Slacks, shirt, socks and shoes.
