the public pool

when i set
my son into the warm
water of a bath
at the age
of one,
with his toy boat,
and duck
and other assorted
things
that he would play with,
immediately
when his body touched
the water he would emit
a great arc
of pee into the air.
and this is why i don't
get into the neighborhood
pool,
when children are
splashing around.
