we swam for joy all summer long lived in the lake contesting dive rank who had the wettest cannon ball broadest swan sharpest jack the underwater distance competition! you sink like a stone shovel your feet into the muck crank like a panzer through honey eighty seconds later pop up way out there our twelve year old bodies cavorted slithered swam through rising storms and setting suns summer put there for us to inhale then pound on one another like gorillas suddenly it was back-to-school while we were learning to borrow a one our minnow natures died

we swam for joy all summer long lived in the lake contesting dive rank who had the wettest cannon ball broadest swan sharpest jack the underwater distance competition! you sink like a stone shovel your feet into the muck crank like a panzer through honey eighty seconds later pop up way out there our twelve year old bodies cavorted slithered swam through rising storms and setting suns summer put there for us to inhale then pound on one another like gorillas suddenly it was back-to-school while we were learning to borrow a one our minnow natures died
