I felt my heartbeat the entire time

It almost scared me, until our hands brushed .

I kept my eyes on yours;

not wanting to waste a minute.

The old married pair swim neck to neck,

his colors flamboyant green & purple,

hers dull brown to protect their babies.

I felt aligned with her; no predator

would show interest – a fine disguise.

Her husband though, the fancy man,

swims with no knowledge that his

fine suit might be his undoing.

Perhaps not fair, but Nature knows best &

who are we to protest?

Meanwhile, my heart keeps beating in time

with my desires, just watching the two swim;

so easy being them.
