Matt Pond Pa The Lettuce
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
