Swimming

 

Pavements shimmering
heat without air conditioning
driving
on my left queuing
afternoon session
I could even be there
waiting
but I'm not staring
just remembering
a couple on my right
seventies resemblance
tobacco stained hand
too casual on her skirt
guiding her till the light
refreshments of alcohol
induced laughter heard
two steps
one step
inside
a caress of his hand
and finally closed
along with the laughter
gone
