Cool Water

You are blameless to not swim, Where water is ingenuously cool, Too cool for fish to frolic, Whoever heard of a Procrustean waterbed? I am taking swimming lessons at the J.C.C., From Pasternak and Yevtushenko. Cool water with cool air generates no breeze, Calm as a dish. The pen is mightier than the sword, And even works as a good oar, When there is no wind, And sails luff. © Chaim Wilson
