diving board

the partly familiar sidewalk
covered in chewed up gum

i took pride in the letter a
and unfaltering began to change

standing bare with no hesitation
tracing the number 27

proud to be someone smaller
in something bigger than i

7ft below me
my eyes shine brightly

it feels indifferent
gliding off my skin

but i laugh cause i know
i'll still smell like chlorine
