A swimming pool with no bodies
is a problem that we can fix.
He dropped his clothes on the chaise lounge
and asked, “Are you gonna come in?”
and in the night the only light
was the glow of the surface.
As they slid in the rest of them
continued their talking and drinking.
They’ll never notice us.
So this is the difference between
living and not living
these are just bodies.
We have a purpose
and the gravity
pulling us from them to we.
The distance between our bodies
is a problem that we can fix.
They moved slow through the current and found
their bodies touching.
Her hands move to pull him under
for some kind of kiss,
as he slides in the rest of them
