Mutual Envy

quiet, unhurried, 

           yonder upon the lake,

                     in smooth, slow motion, swans drift,

                                preening in pairs, admiring their own

                                reflection there on the crystal water,

                     amazed by their own grace and beauty,

             mutually, mutely envying 

each other!
