i swam in a lightning storm
and turned the bread between my teeth
into toast.
i float in the pool with the lights off
and stare at the stars.
i am floating on the reflections
that come from their projections.
at night the water is dark
and underneath is outer space.
as i dive and pull through it
my bubbles talk to me.
they say that i like the big shadows.
Don't be a mouse, be a lion
