Bath Time

in the bath I soaped you up
told you about the five year old girl
in my class
who keeps having accidents
and we discussed how some children
seem to be born with more psychic baggage
than others
like Nancy Spungen
I read how when she was a toddler
she threatened her mom with obscene language
and a pair of scissors
and for some reason
I don't know why
there were times I was afraid of my ex-husband
although he never caused me any physical harm
I sensed he would kill me if he could
and was always on edge when riding beside him
in the car
even though he was a decent driver
you felt the same way about your ex
she scared the shit out of you
and you couldn't figure out why
maybe there were karmic debts
if so
you said
they have damn sure
been
paid.
