The elevator is full of the swim team. The swim team knows
How many goldfish Will fit in a phone booth.
The window and its attendant shadows Are not wise. They are an insult
To the swim team, Which has God on its side.
The swim team knows How to pull a knife on the swim team.
From time immemorial, ages of hapless freaks Have attended and will attend
The swim team, from the grass surrounding The great glass of the pool.
