Back Next Touch my Soul

I am bathing in a bathtub of awful feelings
Green soap and Green envy
This dark black line around the rim of the tub
where the water meets the air
is the dirt that comes from me
I am paying a good price to be washed clean
Each therapist that comes along
washes off another spot
But none will touch my soul
for to touch my soul
they will have to touch
their own

Irwin R. Shaw - June 12th 1989
