Rhythmic shush and splash
Swimmers in their lane Each alone in their head In the water The water that binds them together And holds as in a womb These three individuals Three separate souls Who pursue their purpose Swimming toward life Health Longevity I on the shore observe This internecine blending Of watery exertion Submersion We are cared for by Men who spend their day Scrubbing chairs Positioning ropes Trimming lawn and hedge And we are one together In or by the pool Within this cocoon of Heat light and water
