In the pool
\na girl,
\nslim and new-breasted, treads water,
\nwatching the high-diving boys.<\/p>\n

On the springboard
\na lad,
\nskinny and shivering, wavers at the edge.<\/p>\n

Above them
\na Strike Eagle,
\nsleek and silver, plunges down,
\ntrailing a snarl through the blue.<\/p>\n

The boy salutes the dive bomber,
\ndances up his courage, and cannonballs.<\/p>\n

The water explodes,
\nits flames engulfing a village.<\/p>\n

The girl strokes towards the boy.<\/p>\n
