put your bikini on    over the blanket of
what  screams  your
history   let
this fibre     take
the air     scrumpled
pills 
you got from all that 
rubbing
on the underside of other clothes  set
the
body free   let handles be for
grabbing
there are eyes for everything   the sea  the constant
 self-absorption 
of the age it is your friend 
and
 mine  nobody is looking
at your body   listen to the 
whirring     it’s not the surf  that’s the sound of fear 
now 
   put the swimmer
on 
 
You know, I have only read this today.
