got on his knees

lathered his ass crotch chest armpits

laid down

agitate his body parts

frothed the water

went dull with soap film

pulled the plug

motioned the water with his hands counterclockwise

stood

toweled off

dried his right foot firststepped

dried his left lifted his foot to the basin counter completely dried his foot and leg and ass

stood

placed his right foot on the counter

completely dried it leg ass

dressed in sweats he had placed on the toilet

stepped in front of the mirror

fogged

combed his hair out

combed it straight back

could see streaks of himself
