laps of faith
an early start to drop friends for a holiday
then to the pool
the whole crew
young prince has lessons
i swim ten laps back n forth
while the poet plays n splashes nearby
part of my wholeness
getting back into my body
while the whole world seems to want you out of it
by eating n partying
then glorifying the petite n slim
the painfully slender
the vanishing
are held up as models
mixed messages recieved
children stunted
money spent to maintain the illusion
memberships won n lost
time lost
balance hard to achieve
but it felt good to be in the water
try n b elegnat
try n b fast
just try
legs n arms pleasntly ache now
as I write to ya freends
a sure sign of doin some good
the day beckons now
house to organize
shopping to endure
love to speak
music to make
