I sit in the bathtub and I relax, it's

comforting, to sit in the hot water,

boiling away my sins like a dying lobster,

reading from my bible, quietly humming

to the music and myself


and I listen to the crackle

of candles in the dark room,

and the classical music that's playing

from some ancient movie I love,


and I've never felt more like myself

when I submerge my head underwater

and listened to the old brag of my heart

I am, I am, I am.
