the tao that is the true tao
is the tao you make up when
steaming in your shower
+ all you can think about
is how at the party
you didnt feel like you
just kept drinking more
+ more until finally the world
turned into elements + you
turned into elements too
+ you couldnt wait to be
in your shower again
scrubbing water on skin
that fakest of tao + now
you are in that shower
+ maybe you are crying
or maybe you are not
but at least you are doing
so honestly
