Swimming

body next to mine
rolls streamline
side to side
stroke
breathe
  stroke
    I have to call home
      stroke

      flip kick
      butterfly

      stroke
        stroke
        keep counting
          stroke
            breathe
              stroke
              lane lines rise out of the water:
                red and white cars

                flip kick
                butterfly

                stroke
                  stroke
                    breathe
                      stroke
                      watch now, his body
                      glides through blue
                        stroke
