Shame

I don't look at mirrors.
Okay, maybe sometimes. At my face.
I don't mind my face too much,
if I don't look too hard and skip the eyes.
I don't watch as the soap slips along
standing in the shower.
I close my eyes to wash
or watch the water.
Reflections in windows
can be handily avoided
by keeping a sharp eye on the movement of feet;
avoiding judging eyes a value added.
At worst a window glance is brief
and thankfully clothed.
Bathrooms are harder.
