Drip, Drip, Drip
She submerges in the warm bubbly water
not allowing the annoyance of the drip
to sink in and add
to her overabundant irritability.
The reason she was drove to this bathtub with bubbles
behind a locked door.
She surfaces to hear the cries of her youngest,
“Mom” yells the oldest.
She dives back under imaging a bliss of quite,
holding her breathe for as long as she can.
The water thins as the rattle of the door gets louder.
She glances at her toes peeking out and smiles
as she climbs out she can’t help thinking through the noise,
At least my toes look awesome.

Yes it’s hard to stay irritable in a bubble bath, but it gets cold eventually and its back to reality… Offer the kids for adoption.
