Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

I think of words at the oddest times
as I lie in the bath tub
smelling orange sea salts
with a plastic cap covering my hair
feeling the deep conditioner cool my scalp
I think of words
Common words sound odd
as they flit through my head
capitulate
sounds a lot like copulate
and I wonder if there is a reason
for that similarity
Whisps of memories peek in
only to dance away before they interrupt
my silent solitude in my bath
The aroma of oranges and cream rinse
tease me as if a beckoning dessert
and I think of ice cream
with chocolate sauce and nuts
forgetting the poetry of words
and remembering the cloying sweetness
that I now long to taste.
