Showers
HOW TO SHOWER LIKE A WOMAN
1) Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks.
2) Walk to the bathroom wearing robe or large t-shirt. If you see husband along the way, cover up exposed areas.
3) Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - making mental notes about working out and eating better. Criticize every little detail.

5) Wash your hair once with cucumber and sage shampoo with 43 added vitamins.
6) Wash your hair again, just to make sure that it's really clean.

End of the World
I woke up one morning to discover the world dressed in ash. I lay on the scorched earth -what used to be my floor - stark naked. Seeing my bare skin I quickly covered my body, red with embarrassment, only to realize there was no one to hide from. Every hair on my body was singed and my head was nearly bald.
"Even I can't possibly make this look good." I murmured.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh and the sky was filled with a vibrant orange. I nearly thought I could hear the desperate cries of people. The landscape was empty now. Nothing was moving, except the black ashes which tumbled in the wind.
It was hard to believe that just the day before, this was a cityscape. Buildings bloomed with glass-window petals and hard cement stems. The people of New York were on the move, as always. Yellow cabs and cars honked as road rage slowly formed in the never-ending traffic. It had been autumn.
I could hardly tell what the season was anymore. I got to my feet and found that blisters had formed on the balls of my feet - protecting them from the scorching hot sand and dirt.
"Hello?"
Nothing.
So this is the real deal. I was the only who survived the disaster that destroyed everything while everyone slept. No one saw it coming - not even the most brilliant scientists. Rosie and her family were gone. Lewis the newspaper man was gone too. Everything, just gone. Just like that. But why me? Why must I continue on? I had no one now.. I pinched myself believing it must be a dream, but it wasn't. It was a reality crueler than I had ever known - crueler than I could ever imagine.
I was the only person left on Earth.
Ode to a Rainy Day After Day
Rain keeps falling
Drizzling, dripping
Pattering upon my pane
Falling, falling
Ever falling
Gray and humid
Comes the rain
Days go past
Precipitation
Thrums and hums
And drums and numbs
I’m lost in aimless
Cogitation
Reason to the rain succumbs
Drops assault the ground
Relentless
Days become a week
Eventless
Soporific
Moist and soggy
Saturated
Dull and doggy
Dank and dreary
Wet and smeary
Cold and clammy
This? Miami?
Where’s the sun?
Christ! It’s December!
Yet the rain
Keeps falling down
Has it been a week already
That this rain’s been falling steady?
Trickling on without improvement
For some wicked God’s amusement
Show’ring on and on and on
Oh cease, I say
Anon, anon
Joints are creaky
And rheumatic
Water penetrates
My attic
Life’s become
So stark and static
Think I’m going to
Build an ark
Lord, I hope the time is nearing
When the sun will be appearing
And the clouds commence to clearing
And the atmosphere stops drearing
But I must confess I’m fearing
That this rain
Will linger on
And on and on
And on and on
