A Series Of Rather Ordinary Events Led Me To A Rather Unordinary Decision

i rode my bike today
from downtown to nob hill
a ride often taken

of course
it being summer
i slathered myself
in sun screen

upon returning
an hour later
i decided to make salsa

when a person makes salsa
that person should never touch
the eyes
luckily i have a strong memory

removing remnants of capsicum
from the flesh requires several
latherings of strong soap

in the bathtub i decided to use
liquid pine soap
expensive but effective

discovering the buildup of soap
around the lid i had to make a decision

simply push with all of my might
until soap spurted everywhere
or
use intuitiveness

remove the lid
and simply let it sit
in the water
