What Showers are For

Because God knows we all do our best thinking in the shower, letting the droplets wash away any satanic thoughts that have compounded themselves in our brain stems. Hair is rooted to our heads so it doesn't fall down into the drain with the rest of our dead inhibitions, tucked into the pipes with all other wickedness. I wonder if that's why rats are so evil - because they lurk in the pipes and catch all our awful fascinations. They grow fat with perversion, with lust and rage and sticky heat.

Some are hung onto more than others

"Why do I always think of the best comeback after the argument is over?"
"He deserved what he got."

Rats are only misunderstood. Judged too harshly. So are cancer cells and the end of summer and stepping out of comfort zones. Perhaps rats are our gods.
