swimming towards
shoreline safety
swimming away
declinations rapid
not moving
and i sweat underwater
remembering treading
for an hour and a half
in a contest family reunion
so i rest in the moment of
deciding
push myself harder and call for help
let my body be taken by death currents
either, which?
i choose both yell for help while
my arms and legs stop moving
now everyone sees me drowning
but i'm too far from shore for rescue
watch me dissolve
