Swinging from the rope
I drop into the pool
like a fearless teenager
falling into a country
river
on a mate’s dare
racing my daughter
underwater
I almost let her win
in the shade sipping
cerveza
I am at home
watching my wife float
on her raft chilled
white wine in hand
Shanghai. 40 degrees. No river. How I wish I were there!
ReplyDeleteYeah, there's nothing better than a refreshing dip on a hot day. About 40 every day here too.
