Remember the sensation  of stepping
into a silent man made pool.
   
The trembling flatness of the surface
matches well the squareness of the sides.
    
I wonder if it could be
a creature.
      
I wonder if 
it could 
rise up and take a shape
and stretch and yawn,
and stalk away with giant strides
its footsteps white with dried chlorine
it shed on route
to water a parched corner
by a windswept petrol station.
