This poem read to me like a continues line of conscious and unconscious thought. I enjoyed that, it was like being able to read this person's mind. I have to agree with Isaias, I got the vibe that the hand washing was OCD in fashion, but also along the lines of washing your hands of sin. With this in mind, I went further into the possible metaphor that maybe he is compelled to "sin" (which I assumed the sin was something of a sexual nature) I really enjoyed this poem, but I did find following the thought process took some big leaps. It maybe a little too scattered, but manageable.
