“I’ll keep quiet and let you run your phone bill up
I know you love to talk”

When I got in the shower
and the water hit my body
I could smell the chlorine from my swim yesterday.

I noticed the dirt on the walls.

I only clean the shower when I’m expecting a visitor
and you haven’t come around for a while.

When it’s time to get out
I count back from five
down to minus three.

Why do I do this?
I don’t know but
I’ve done it for ages when it’s time to
get out of bed or
move from a spot or
get out the shower or
loads of other stuff.

Where am I with you?
Three? Two?

It feels more like minus one or minus two.
