Mars

The water shimmers as much to my liking.
The cool water curls and crashes and smashes.
It’s summer and very hot.
The water is as cool as an ice bath.
Fish in schools swim around the curl of the ocean.
The sharks may attack today because today is no ordinary day.
Because today is the hottest day.
The only way to escape, is to duck under the water and pray that the next day is the best day.
It’s cool as winter and it’s really weird because I live on man made Mars.
