megashipper in Poetry & Free Verse

It's odd

Swimming with people

They don't get that the only reason I get in the water is so that I can stay under

That all I want

Is to see spots in my vision

Because I have to hold my breath to feel how crisp the air on the surface is

Using crisp to describe the air is what did it for me. This is very well written.
