Cold
Cold
water
As I
jump in
To
the Niobrara with friends
Smooth
Smooth
plastic
In
the shape of a doughnut
I
sit and start my journey
Plastic
Plastic
tube
As I
float down the river
It
keeps me above the water
Soft
Soft
sand
Running
through my toes like a race
Tickling
the soles of my feet
Purple
Purple
suit
Sticking
to my skin like glue
Wet,
but keeps me from burning
Turquoise
Turquoise water
Turquoise water
Sparkling
like diamonds
From
the bright sun
Golden
Golden
sunshine
Tanning
my beige skin
Making
me look as dark as can be
Black
Black
night
As
the sun sinks and the stars come out
The
water is now black
Long
Long
journey
From
a plastic tube in the river
To
bundling up in a towel
Starry
Starry
night
The
water is speckled with white spots
As
if it were saying “Goodnight”
Goodbye
Goodbye
water
I
hope to see you again
On
another warm summer day
