slick as a seal

i believe in aerodynamics.
the more
smooth
and slick you are from top
to bottom
the faster you are
whether swimming
or running.
there is no resistance,
as you sprint down the track
or dive into the water.
if i was a runner, or a swimmer
which i'm not, i'd shave every
hair follicle off my body,
tape down my ears,
and cover myself in oil,
becoming slick
as a seal.
i'd wear a skin tight suit made
of silk, making
me extra fast.
and if i never won a medal,
maybe i'd get style points,
at least i'd have that.
