Swimming

I dragged myself up to go swimming today
at Panguitch High School pool
only to find the door locked.
I needed to work my muscles
stretch my limbs
flow in the warm water.
It will be closed this week
while they redo the gym floor,
so people can't breathe noxious fumes.
"Where were you this morning?"
"Locked out. You were there?"
"Yes, it felt so good. Frank went
out and locked the door, not thinking."
It's not easy to drag youself out
to be at the pool at 6 A.M. -
worse when you do and
can't get in.
