Hundred Compression Casper

Bright white light illuminates

The stretched silhouette of a cocked arm

Held above head

Could be a monkey with a bone

Starship all alone

Or hand for blocked sun shone

 

But wait

Silhouetted back lighted

Wrong side of the chlorized pool

A pool of fools spewelled out below a

Fool with a fake tool

But he could be anywhere

 

Verdun 1916

On ne passe pas!

The last hero of the battalion

Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

CRACK!

7.92 from a Kraut marksman

Farewell to the last liberal legionnaire

Ah! Liberté, comme on ta jouee!

Crook leg

Board dip

Two handed

PUSH

Cheated balance

Teeter totter and spring!

A sigh leaks from the line wrapped twice ‘round the pool

 

Glub bub mubble nub

Underwater frog caught in weedy legs

Gurgle gushing frugal goggles

Fill with chlorine and kids pee

Chipmunk cheeks

POP!

Brr

GASP

Sailor styled swimmer

GASP

Swhirlly vision flooped ear

Towels, sandals, lifeguard

Lowels, tandals, sifeguard

GASP
