Showering And Toweling Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Showering And Toweling



When I came to the USA
with my Gaul background
I quickly learned

that when shopping in Boston
it was good to know
the right word for a towel.

I thought sign language
combined with French
would do the trick

but no matter how much
I mimed the gestures
of toweling myself

I didn't get a good laugh
until I mouthed aloud
douche.

DOUCHE!
