A Little Spa Action Goes a Long Way

A man soaks

or creates a mask

in what is labeled “paraffin”.

It is winter in a George I. Barnett house.

The heat penetrates his every last muscle

and he is able to roll out of his driveway

get into a slight fender-bender on Jefferson,

proceed to the club for a quick game of squash,

and still arrive at the office for his weekly mail routine.
