The Typical Swim Meet by Nora Kushner

On the block
On your mark
In the air
Water on my hands,
On my face,
On my back, 
A shiver through my spine,
And a tingle on my feet
All the way under
A pull through the water,
And to the surface
A pull and a kick
At the wall hands first then feet
A pull and a kick 
Two hands bang on the touch pad
Did I do well?
Bad?
Okay?
Or does it even matter?
