What matters about the pool is where you play.
Wade, sedately, in the three foot section,
splash, tentatively, in navel high water,
grasp, tightly, the floating line marking the slope into
twelve foot depths,
duck under the rope, venturing into the
no feet on the bottom zone,
teach yourself to tread, keeping your head up,breathe
free style back and forth above the deep,
creep up the ladder of the one meter board,
gingerly balance on the end, then,
cannon ball!!!!
shouts and sheets of spray!!!!!
ladder to the top of the three meter board ,
race to the edge, leap high, land, trampoline up
to the top of the world,
spin a 360 degree flip,
break out,
tuck in,
arrow down,
fingers
hands
arms
shoulders
head
neck
chest
hips
thighs
calfs
ankles
toes
toe nails
nailing a perpendicular pin pricking
slip into waiting water
no splash
not a ripple
10!!!!!!!!!!!!
