or
how I as a righteous perspirer might naturally get wet
and therefore
find my place in the pool
find my place in the pool
the "soul" is not a pine-green cardigan
unbuttoned
loose
at the shoulders
worn
at the elbows
a junction bent
in prayer
nor is the "soul" resting
draped across the back of a chair
at a cafeteria table
drenched in sweat
drenched in sweat
after
attention
the "soul" is not watching television
from the vantage provided
while I eat
potato chips
with peach mango salsa
and dream of swimming
and dream of swimming
the "soul" is not the wind
the rain
snow fire an organ pipe cactus
cotton
cauliflower
or a rock
it is the fit
and is also not the "soul"
it is in the deep end
