We yelled out our hearts
as we dove off of the cliff
feet first
into the blue carpet sea

"I cheated on my girlfriend!"

"My dad touched me when I was
seven!"

Their heads bobbed back up
smiles creeping through
ingenuous sunlight

"Dog food tastes all right!"

"I was the one behind the wheel
that night!"

The air flapped with sincerity
hung out to dry

It was my turn
and I went into the dive
feet in the air
head cradled by Poseidon

"I'm just another guy!"
