finding motivation

i can
swim, but not very far.

i can make it from one side
of the pool
to the other.

i have a strange stroke,
with rapid
kicking,
but

prefer to do my swimming
underwater.

i can hold my breath for
what seems like forever.

which is maybe two minutes.
if you're on the other

side of the pool, waiting
with open arm
and puckered lips,
i can swim
faster.

like so much in life i need
motivation
to get me where i need to go.
