Swimmers / 1

We're boys who like water: tri, swim, and surf.

Boys who can dive, polo, or synchro; water's

our turf. We're boys who like boys, boys who

were girls, or boys who were boys who like

boys and then girls. (Not to get all Blur about

it.) Boys who are big, and boys who are

femme, boys of all stripes, and boys and their

friends. We love our pools, we swim in the

ocean. Indoor's okay, show us the open. Boys

of all colors; bears, seals, and otters. Boys

come to play, to love one another. Jump on in.

The commotion's fine.
