Every day for six months
He thought about it
Training and weather
Different styles of stroke
Weight conditioning
Avoiding chill.
About to swim the English Channel
Friend Harvey said
He would man the motor launch
Along with his Barbara.
Publicity an issue.
Waivers of civil liability
For emergency rescue.
Alerting the French
So as to keep clear
The final approach.
Best kinds of shark repellant.
Energy bars.
What else could there be.
First Saturday in June
Was stormy.
Deferred until now
Wading in the shallows
Donning his wet shirt.
Horizontal and gone.
Barbara giving him the final wink.
Smell of salt took over.
Already talking to
Himself in French.
