How strange to envy a dramatic splash
To wish that I was lithe and wild like you
To imagine your tanned, ecstatic dash
And wish that I too could vanish from view
The water does not know how to betray
To mock or judge or insult anyone
It caresses each drunk or manta ray
It loves each light, from firefly to sun
You are inside it now, and it's in you
This memory will wear chlorine cologne
Archimedes could your fat splash review
Thus would your bashful volume soon be known
We can be measured by what we displace
The water bears our impact with blue grace
