numb

some people are like the little puddle of water that collects
on the tops of shampoo bottles.
cool surprises against hot skin.
sharp breaths and slippery bottles.
and maybe youre angry, but maybe you didn't
know how good change could feel.
just enough to leave you wanting and suddenly aware.
aware how miserably hot you've become,
that you've quietly stopped feeling.
until that cool puddle of water splashes across your chest.
and suddenly you want more.
