a fresh start

while floating
on my raft
in the center
of the pool,
a drink balanced
carefully
upon my lap,
half of a tuna
sandwich nestled
nearby, with
chips and
a cookie,
i dropped
my cell phone
into the deep
end while i
was texting you
and sending
you a photo
of what i was
doing in my
new bathing
suit. i can
see it
glistening on
the bottom
next to a penny.
everything,
and everyone on
it washed away.
