Bath

Showers are very sudden things. The water goes on and hot, in, water off immediately, out. Baths take longer to draw and empty; there is a sort of choreography about it. And you seep into the water and are immersed rather than pelted all over. When the bath is over, you get out, leaving the water sitting as if it were waiting on you. A shower is shut off and the water leaves you standing there in the cleaning area. I think I prefer baths though I haven't had one since I was a child.
