• Solana Beach, 1998
• the swimming pool collects sunshine,
• undulating, silver, tax-deductible.
• what succeeds like success?
• you release my handcuffs
• through the chlorine.
• we’re not like the others—
• we’re smarter,
• like silver metal is smarter.
• we’re hog-tied, heaving
• each other into the depths.
• O knotted yoga boy
• holding yourself up,
• what do the girls see in you?
• we’re hiding together, waiting
• to sleep over.
