“Where’s the teacher?” someone whispered.
Mr. S
“Shouldn’t they be here by now?” asked someone else.
Mr. S
“No teacher means no rules!” cheered half the class.
Mr. S
“Absolutely not!” scolded the other half.
Mr. S
“Who did that?” the kids whispered, eyeing the teacher’s desk nervously.
Mr. S
The clock ticked and the mug steamed, but the sandwich lay remarkably still.
Mr. S
“Look!” called a kid from the back of the room, pointing to the chalkboard.
Mr. S
That settled it. Everyone got straight to work.

“I will not throw food.”

Me? I am the jump-right-in type: all at once and also quick.
Our Pool
It’s only been a few minutes since we arrived and the water is already full of people.

There are all sorts of folks, young folks, in-between folks.

It’s an ice-cold bowl of city people soup!
Our Pool
When your head’s underwater, you can’t hear a thing.

Not the laughs and shrieks of the swimmers.
Our Pool
Not the far-off honks of taxi cabs.
Our Pool
Not the rumbling of the train.
Our Pool
When I pop back up, at first, I don’t see mom.
Our Pool
I spy bigger bodies, smaller bodies, taller bodies, and the smallest of all bodies.
Our Pool
Just as I’m starting to worry, she pops back up from under the water and calls out my name—loud.

Our Pool
Then she dabs my chin.
Our Pool
I jump right back in.
Our Pool
We do flips and handstands.
Our Pool
We pop from underwater with giant grins on our faces, then we dive back down.
Our Pool
We line up and take turns swimming through each other’s legs.
Our Pool
We pass under, we pass through—we feel less like people and more like dolphins!
Our Pool
Out of nowhere, a cloud appears—we cross our fingers…
Our Pool
And then we boo and hiss as it blocks our sun.
Our Pool
We all stop—waiting, hundreds of sunken toes tapping, all of us damp—frowning.
Our Pool
And then finally… It moves!
Our Pool
And when it does? The whole crowd cheers!
Our Pool
That’s when I hear my name again. Loud!
Our Pool
Mom has my towel held wide and hers already wrapped around her.

I pop out of the water but get her blessing to do one last… Cannonball!

We dry off and get dressed.
Our Pool
We make our way back out with all those families and folks again.
Our Pool
My fingers are firmly crossed as we do, and I hear it first, and then I spot it…
Our Pool
The ice cream truck!
Our Pool
Mom gets twist and I get chocolate with rainbow sprinkles.
Our Pool
As we make our way back home, I lick quick, but walk slow.

I am beat!

After dinner, a book, and a kiss, I float.
