Soak

Run the building out of hot. Rob the neighbors of their  tap water and dish rinse. Sink in and slide down  until your eyes are bathed too and you can see toe  tips and the mercury sheet  over the rest of you. Let him leach out and become the oily film. You can wage currents by waving silent fingers  but don’t break the surface, the tainted  swells will only rake up against the rim of you and settle on the parts you’ve left out to chill. Make it clear  you want nothing  of him left there. Soak clean until the mean things quit their grip. Then, drain.
