somersaulting
olive
when
i
somersault
in
a
pool
i
can't
help
but
think
about
a
baby
in
a
womb
or
a
man
in
outer
space
attached
to
the
rocket
-ship
by
a
long
tether
.
either
way
i
feel
like
there
should
be
something
coming
out
of
my
belly
button
,
holding
me
down
.
keeping
me
from
floating
away
into
the
milky-way.
some
reference
point
for
what
is
up
and
what
it
down
.
often
times
when
i
come
out
of
a
somersault
in
a
pool
i
end
up
facing
a
direction
that
i
was
certainly
not
facing
before
.
underwater
my
body
twists
and
contorts
to
make
some
movement
that's
far
from
symmetrical.
but
still
i
feel
very
beautiful
.
and
i
wonder
if
one
day
when
i
come
out
of
the
water
,
out
of
this
acrobatic
womb
,
if
i
will
rear
my
head
into
a
world
very
different
from
the
one
i
went
in
on
.
maybe
it
will
be
like
this
place
i
went
in
a
dream
once
-
where
there
was
only
neon
colors
and
everything
was
bouncy
,
and
nice
to
touch
.
and
gravity
didn't
depress
me
quite
like
it
does
on
earth
.
