our world is really small, we keep on doing the same things, small things, the same places nurture us, small ways, in a small world you don't need to do big things, you're part of things, small ways, intimate things, we been coming around here for years. i swim with mister, i feel him reaching for me, turn to him, him reaching, his paws find my hand, put both paws in one hand, wave the other hand, wave the legs, we move slowly, in tandem, he fidgets and swims on his own, he turns to shore, i follow saying, oh mister it's soul good, i keep on saying, soul good, you is soul good, init good, mister? oh, soul good. our friend swims out, i wave both hands, i want to say, soul good, in it? i'm not too shy to say.
