Book II: Swan

Sweep the harbour.
Sweep it clean.

Swan dive.
Come up huge.

Too good to set foot
on the concrete byways.
Belong in the water.

The water belongs.

The ducks are no nuisance.
Serenity rides on the back.

Couples stay afloat.
Couples stick together.
Couples look good.

Couples know it.

Swan dive.
No one will get in the way

of the supreme majesties
of the waterfront.
