in the basement
is the water heater
it is new
and is a dull grey
and was just put in
by my friend who is a plumber
our old one was broken
and for months we suffered
short showers
and shivering exits into cold air
it is the end of the day now
and I am getting home
from a long shift at work
I start the bath
and out comes water
to hot to touch
for a moment I watch it pour
down into the porcelain
for a moment I am grateful
for this hot water
this luxury we forget is a luxury
how rare is it
for something to be
some uncomplicated
and enjoyable
I step into the water
and let the heat
wash the day
wash the world away
