The Pool
Indolent, the pool
stretches out
under indoor lights,
turning lazy blue
towards the glow.
One lone swimmer
thrashes, fights his
private battle-
arms triangular when rising;
hands and feet explosions.
He sends out currents
catching stragglers
as they struggle.
Bodies submerged,
heads sitting
on the surface
at angles;
they kick and slap
the face of water
in frustration.
