 When i took a bath in red acrylic paint, 

my body resembled the sun fading in murky horizons of dusk.
 
when i drenched myself with coal tar liquid, 
snow white patches of my skin transited to ghastly black.
 
when i sprinkled buckets of rotten vegetable juice in plenty, 
i smelt like i had last bathed in innocent childhood.
 
when i rolled wildly in mud lying in fresh pools of rain, 
multiple pores of my body went berserk in heated euphoria.
 
when i poured large cans of honey extracted from bee-hive, 
my body became a breeding place for red ant and worm.
 
when i swam in white icy waters of the mountain stream, 
i shivered incessantly with a plethora of goose-bumps instantly formed.
 
When I submerged myself in a tank of steaming acid, 
soft layers of flesh got denuded of silky hair.
 
when I engulfed myself in churned green chili juice, 
i felt live currents of electricity circulating through my blood.
 
when I sprayed petrol with high pressured hose, 
entangled mass of my intestine vomited settled food granules.
 
And finally when I stood beneath a shower oozing gold coin, 
I felt this bath should go on for decades immemorial.
