I passed the local swimming pool
And saw that
what remained
Was lots of
empty space because
The water
had been drained.
Now, I am
not a swimmer,
Though I
walk by every morn,
Way too
early for the crowds of folks
Where
bathing suits are worn.
Yet I’m
certain they enjoyed it,
Cooling off
or doing laps,
While the
children played or splashed
With “Marco
Polo!” shouts, perhaps.
That’s all
finished for the season
And the
lifeguards, too, are gone,
Maybe to an indoor
gym, where some
Aquatics
still go on.
