there was a girl i used to love. in the nights, while everyone was asleep, she would crawl into the bathtub, and kneel in the hot spray.
when the water got cold, and the boilers in the basement wheezed, she would dry off, and get dressed.
everything was colder after the heat. she would leave, and sit by the river. it was best in winter, when it was below freezing and nobody came out.
