THANK YOU
for allowing
two
"complete strangers"
to
swim in
your
South Hampton
pool
many years ago
We both swam naked
but it was cool:
The strangers
were
a
trucker's assistant
[Bronx-born me]
and
Eddie "Bruiser" Robinson
from
Bedford Stuyvesant
We delivered
a
heart-shaped
king-sized bed
While
the strangers
swam,
no one else
was in the pool
Everyone else
gawked at
Eddie's
mega-ton penis
while I
swam
ten luxurious laps
invisibly
around
your pool
