`
four feminine ducks
walking down the water’s plank
beginning ballet
mallard men passing
one behind the other
the line flows to the left
girls dancing far right
they must know what a line is
someone has cooties
females turn around
flowing next to manly men
forming two straight lines
someone’s husband
taking pictures of other ducks
not this cute ballet
foggy and hazy
eighty one yesterday
only seventy four
at eighty one
the pool was chilly but now
fearless man has jumped in
october warmth
sixty seven a few hours ago
no screaming
everyone is born
with the same pool conversation
inside their mind
a man jumps in
the answer is i’m very cold
asks you how you are
he says it will warm up
his son laughs and tells him
he is mistaken
that he saw her in
the pool ten minutes ago
“she would be warm now”
why do you get out
a man with a snake tattoo
shoulder crawling back
he was behind you
his snake was crawling toward you
terrified of asp
back to the beach
where a man stops you and tells you
that you need Reiki
full moon kissing sun
hamantaschen hour
age of aquarius
moonlight veils ballet
“the moon doesn’t take your rights”
simply enhances
quote jeff schwaner
