Fingers first

Fingers first.
As the tips touch the surface water
the frame is freezed.

She leans back,
into her deep sofa,
stretching her legs out long
and gazes at the diver's pose
abstracted from his flow
to handstand on the sea's fake floor.

Carelessly playing with the remote control,
she tap-taps the play and pause button
so he disappears down
in
a
series
of
incremental
steps.

The water's reaction uprises in slow motion.

She bathes in the assumed glory of one who can control nature,
through the precise manipulations of a video-reel.
