The secret of the bath towel

The bath towel hangs on behind the door
with a single dress that is unwashed for weeks
which is depressed like how they say
it's always depressed
as they say it likes to be depressed
with which the dress most certainly disagrees.

Anyway, the secret here is that the bath towel is actually in love with the dress
in a way no other towels ever loved dresses
though the towel doesn't know that
but it can never confess to the dress
because the towel feels that they belong in quite different worlds and they can only meet behind the door or in the cupboard perhaps or in the toilet whatever
but really very rarely
as the towel changes shift very rapidly and frequently
so maybe the towel feels nothing good will come out of anything anyway
so might as well don't say.

The dress doesn’t know about this at all
and perhaps it does not ever need to know, you know, being a dress and all.
