you know,
Gracie Bon obi nm

Gracie Bon obim,

i have sometimes wondered
who
it is exactly
that
the idea of
a Swimming Pool
should be credited to.

i mean,
could the original idea
of/for/regarding the
creation of a Swimming Pool
have been

an idea
.. a passing? thought? ..
.. a recurring? thought? ..
in the mind of
a

Negroland Africa native
of
a Water-Side Community
a River-Side Community
a Lake-Side Community
a Sea-Side Community

who
found herself/himself
at some point in her/his life
in

a mostly dry land
hot
arid
Community

where water
could only be gotten
from
wells dug in the ground

and

where
there were
no nearby rivers
that one could easily get to
during
the burning heat of the Afternoon Sun
and
dive in
and
swim around
and thus
both
cool one’s self down
and
have some fun
at the same time

and

who now

pondered on
deliberated on
considered

the possibility or otherwise
of

transporting a portion of
the river
the lake
the sea
in her/his Native Community

to her/his current dry lands location

and

from there
progressed with the concept
to deliberating on

how to dig
a hole in the ground
large enough to
be the size of
a naturally occuring small body of water
that
folks can swim in


and
then filling that hole with water


and
finding a mechanism to
ensure that
the water used to fill the whole
does not
seep away or leak away

but
remains in place
just like the waters of
a natural river
a natural lake.





in a world
where
folks

habitually
regularly
historically
currently

steal ideas


and
claim those ideas as theirs

without giving any credit at all
to the folk
who they got the idea from

it would be
.. at a guess ..
a fairly difficult thing
and
most likely
a virtually impossible task
to
identify who the original idea
should be created to

more so
as some countries
seem to be

messing around with
or
to have messed around with

their true factual accurate history.


in any case,
tell me,
Gracie Bon ohbee nm
Gracie Bon ohbeem
whose
DORSAL PERSPECTIVE imagery
IN THE WATER(S)
of the
Swimming Pool
is the
greatest of all time ?
