She changed into her
swimming costume,
folded her clothes,
placed her shoes in the locker,
but kept her coat on
until she reached the water’s edge
before reluctantly parting
with it, glaring at anyone
who was watching.
Her face stayed frowning
even in the water
wishing everyone else
to vanish, disgusted
they existed near her.
I didn’t see her leave the water,
perhaps she’s still there.
