the course of the hand-plow, the magnet, the anchor, the shovel - disheveled
so you wonder how
about the getting down

*how long will it take to be
you won't recognize for me
the skilled confuser

bored you'll breathe
you might not see the hole between the wake and wonder
the length you've gone to turn it over

still you wonder how about the getting down

*

the pool reopened just in time for a swim
cannonballs exploding if it's making waves i'm in
then the blue of your chlorine-stained eyes
as you rise from the water your bathing suit snaps for surprise
and i'll dive in the deep end
and i'll dive to impress you
and when i dive you won't hear anyone at all
just in time the phone rings in
not alarmed
don't come in to get me, don't come in to get me
i'm all right, i'm all right
just in time the phone rings in not alarmed
don't come in to get me, don't come in to get me
i'm all right, i'm all right
