And It’s Wide

Janet Kuypers (December 14, 1998)


My sister gave me a few things to look forward to

while I’m on vacation
because usually when people hear
you’re going to florida
they say, well, you’ll be able
to enjoy the sun
and all i can say is
but i don’t want to

I guess that’s what makes me weird

but my sister reminded me
that while I was there
I could use the garden bath tub
that’s in the bathroom
and I never think about bath tubs
because I’m so tall, you see

and I always get cold in them
because they are always too small
and because I never fit in them

but there’s this one bath tub
in my parent’s bed room
and it’s wide, and it’s deep

and for just a few minutes
in the day
you can close yourself off to
the rest of the world
and well, enjoy the bath tub

which ain’t a bad deal, you know

sometimes you just need someone around
to remind you of the good stuff
because there are so many times
where you don’t think of the good stuff

because sometimes
well, sometimes the good stuff
is worth thinking about
