You really tried

Something I say to you

That most species

Can’t say to each other

A joy of being human

See I can say it

Because I saw

You lean into my lane

You stretched into my sea

And stress

If there was any

Seemed minimal

Even flat

And watching you swim

I think

Was more uncomfortable

For me

Than it seemed

To be for you

And I wonder

Who was

The most surprised

That it didn’t

Seem to hurt

In the least

Little bit
