Oops- a flip
a slip, a goof
this here problem
has given me a watery spoof
just to hear the laughing
ringing in my ears
the other kids are screaming
-they forgot their towels-
as my chest collapses
and every inch of breath lapses
into an even shorter one
my legs twist up
muscles crammed, cooped up
wishing for just a breath...
but do i wish for such?
my throat a-blaze
longing for air...
just a trigger... why does no one care?
my muscles grow weak as i sink and sunk
this pain is narrowly the real funk
no more exchange of oxy and carbon di
and in this pleasant water
i have died
