in swimming

in swimming this morning
I observe my body evolve

left brain to right flipper
right brain -- transmit!
slogging through primeval
sea syrup
now again left brain

is this how it goes?

clumsy reptile
plodding through oceans

now amphibian
sun gleams on my
barnacled carapace
and I fly

brain transmit again
stroke stroke
winged horse ascends
in stratosphere
over holy mountains
