Warmer Waters

I don't question
my presence in a Jacuzzi
with a girlfriend of a friend,
or why my ex-wife's sister
is now a soapy fingered hand-maiden.

All day I keep adjusting my mask
while secretly watching that hot tub dream 
as it plays-on
on the tip of every nerve ending.

I want to sink back 
into suds of impossibility.
I have this crazy itch
to snorkel down
to where I can touch
the secret life of ripples.
