Joe often shares a bath

With his flatmate Essie

They are not romantically involved

This usually happens once a week

As they soak together

They discuss philosophy poetry

Architecture and many other subjects

They also discuss why soaps vary so much

As although uniform in their shapes

The perfumes and colours are countless

Essie likes the lemon lime or orange soaps

Whereas Joe does not really have an opinion

Joe’s home city is Bath in Somerset

Essie has never visited Bath

And Joe often jokes

That he would like to share

A different type of Bath with her

But they would have to wear clothes
