Competition
© 1991 Mariah Burton Nelson

I like to swim naked
I like to swim fast
swimming next to you I swim faster
shed more layers of flesh
learn your rhythms as well as my own
Each time I breathe I see you
breathe
stroke
breathe
stroke
and see you again
You can tell by my stroke that I need you
You can tell by my stroke
by the way that I breathe
that I need your stroke, your breath
that to be my best I need you
swimming beside me
