Why Am I In a Pool?

Published on

How did I get in this swimming pool?

How on earth am I floating in pristine
albeit cold, waters and
Where did this water wings come from
and why are they so soothing,
with orange smooth plastic
radiating the sun towards my face, coating
a warmth and love,
but I am a forty year old man, and I do not
need assistance from floatation devices
I surely know how to swim,
and yet, my memory of how I found myself in
this Olympic size swimming pool
is as non existent as a bank account that would
grant me the ability to even purchase such
a hole full of water, so I must not even be at home
and now things are getting REALLY weird,
because I just noticed the cookout going
on over yonder side of this backyard
and there are about sixty people
lining up to get hotdogs and I am partially OK
because I would want a burger, as hot dogs are
not really my jam, despite liking mustard, but you can
put that smack dab in the middle of a juicy burger
and pretty much get the same experience,
unless it happens to be a beef hotdog, and those are cool
but not really hotdogs in the sense of a sandwich holding meat,
but the people doing the cookout
happen to be made of clouds,
and I am still in this swimming pool, and splashing as though
I am having a fun time,
but I dislike being in swimming pools because of an event
when I was a teen, and it was not pleasant
and I am not reliving it now when I have just spotted the sky
which is purple,
and I know people are not made of clouds
and the sky is not normally purple, so thankfully
this must be a dream, and if this is a dream, then
I can try a hotdog!
