Water is God

I don’t want a swimming pool full of liquor

Or a bath full of milk

Or a tub filled with wine to the brim


I just want a setting

For more traditional wetting

Providing me somewhere to swim


Outside is best, though indoor will do

It’s the feeling of weight being lifted from you


As I roll to my back

The sun in my eyes

This instant feels entirely pleasant

I think of my good fortune and how lucky I am

Pools are a gift for the present

Fire Island, NY. This pool was heated to 80º. Bliss.
