Watching the paddle boat
Move from East to West
Or is it North to South
The waves lap the shore
No more energy than that
Is being expounded today
Soon I will go to the bar
Sit on a high stool
To drink strong coffee
But for now.
I will watch you swim
Through one blue line, then another
The arm swings
I want to say laconically
Yet there is a rhythm
I lose my concentration
My biscuit falls to the floor
I say, oh bugger
Then I reflect
This is one good place
There will be a new biscuit tomorrow
