We Showered Together

We showered together

Once
Unplanned
Naked at the ankles
Rain caught us

Melted pressed words
Cotton-soft
Perfume and cologne

We touched each other’s elbow

Felt the other out
Tested the waters
Searched for connections
Over gooseflesh lines
Too long hugs
Can-crushed words

Stuck like cohesive super glue
Pinpointed to balloon-pop
