water
swim
water water
cold around
water water
flop cut with hand
water water water
reflect below lights
water water water water
flags cross flip to front
water water water water water
above shoulder fingers together
water water water water water
bored? nothing to think about
water water water water water water
brain strange too much work to stop
water water water water water
tired? No idea what does it matter
water water water water water water
how long going now to hard
water water water water water
to count brain strange slap
water water water water
self now think right
water water water
swim

The author's comments:
My teacher hated this poem. Tell me what you think. It was in the shape of a drop of water but I couldn't post it like that. This poem is writen the way I think when I am swimming. I go into this half aware state where punctuation doesn't matter and most of my thoughts are disjointed. Enjoy.
