| Amphibian Her curls poke out from a black with white lettered cap that starts to sag as sweat slinks down her tan and freckled cheeks collecting on the neckline of her T-shirt With her feet bare to the asphalt she treks to the community pool feeling the diving board and the ga gooooon ga gooooon rhythm as someone dives Beside the pool girls lay out in their small bathing suits suits picked to allow the sun to spread the most color These girls do not dive or swim They dip in the shallow end before applying more coconut lotion She walks by the girls on their backs and she tosses her T-shirt before she jumps into the pool splashing up water with her strong feet |
