the apple juice depository

the new pool passes come
through the mail
slot, along with a page of 37
new and old
regulations.
i like the one that says
anyone with an open wound
will not be allowed
in the water.
no hanging on the rope
is another favorite,
as is no drugs, or alcoholic beverages.
i've lived here almost twenty
years and have
been to the pool twice.
going into the water once,
but quickly getting out as i
watched bug eyed children 
standing absolutely still, 
staring off into the distance,
as they relieved themselves
of what looked like 
apple juice.
