how could I not know

many years ago
you swam for me

in that swimming pool
beyond poverty

everywhere outside
the open hands of dusty children

men with leprosy
wide toothless smiles of old women

they'd thank me
for a few useless coins

you swimming
in chlorinated azure waters

your bikini
brought from the States

just that once
for me
