We are all equal,
Our bodies submerged
To shoulder height.
…
Arthritic arms wave
Match up for a twenty count
One, two, three, four, five.
…
Synchronized heads nod
And smile. Hats and Sunglasses
Shield us from the sun.
…
Flexing and stretching
Arms and legs, fingers and toes
Further, higher, stronger.
…
The minutes longer
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen
Burning stout and round.
…
Noodles, webbed gloves, foam
Weights increase the challenge
In mermaid circle.
…
Thanks, Al, Thanks, Alice
See you again on Wednesday
For another class.
…
