one day got the notion in the ocean
one day thought that he would
learn to swim
that day must admit he was a fool
that day went straight to the
swimming pool
signed up took a class down
at the YMCA
with families children and
their mothers
fathers reclining in the hot
tubs and the saunas
there he was among them a
pink unicorn
day one shocked to see him
everybody
day two they all see him
screw it up
day three gangster in class
tattooed ass
day four they go out and
drink it up but
day five he looks up and he
sees the lifeguard dive
her movements smooth like
spilling milk
in lane five she makes her
way from one end to the other
he wants to talk to her but
then just does not dare
in lane five he looks again
to see the lifeguard dive
her movements smooth like
rolling clouds
in lane five she makes her
way from one end to the other
he wants to talk to her but
just then does not dare
he wants to talk to her but
just then does not dare
the deep end the deep end
the deep end the deep end
the deep end
