score for realignment (after a shit day at work)

 put on one of your favorite songs, albums, playlists, or mixes

turn your speakers to an enjoyably loud level so that the music is audible from your bathroom

with your bathroom door open, take a hot shower, relishing the fragments of music that rush in past the water

move your ears into and away from the shower head’s path

sing along with the music if you desire – otherwise, imagine it so as to fill in the inaudible sections of song concealed by the water

enjoy the moment at which you turn off the shower – listen as your performance, sung or imagined, realigns with the one on the speakers
