why you should always wear shoes to the pool

because someone might get
weirdly chilled
and complain about
muscle pain
and
headaches
and that boy might have
experienced a tick bite in the last week
so you might have to go to
urgent care
and
then to the pharmacy
and
on the way home
in your slightly panicked state
you might decide that the
important, lost church papers
are inside one of the six library books
you turned in that morning
so
you will want shoes on for dashing around
the fiction and nonfiction stacks
not finding those papers
but
you can slip those shoes off once your child
is home and properly doxycyclined
and
you have found the papers on the
fourth time looking through the
extra-table-pile-of-mail....
i'm just sayin'
