I obviously did something to put myself in this position,
but at the bottom of the pool, I was making some questionable decisions that involved the dissolution of my memory---
Oh, well---
that was the only thing I could come up with,
and after that, I dug my toes further into the cement floor
I would be the first person to breathe fully under here,
to report back that there were other places we could breathe off life support
It was warmer under here than they gave it credit for,
but none of this was blanketing me,
or the fact that you were gone for good now
The temperature in my room dropped a good ten degrees every night,
and went it did I took to swimming,
and then fishing,
and then anything that allowed me to duck out of there and rest under here
I was a good person with a faulty moral compass,
who was unseasonably good with euphemisms,
and once I learned to grin and bear it,
to exhale through my nose,
I swore I would I appreciate something,
someday
