there is too much happening

my grandmothers pool measures twenty feet by sixty feet and has two sets of stairs

one large ant struggles for survival in the middle of the deep end

this is where i am as well
however i anchor myself to the side, a barnacle five feet from the sea floor and breathing just fine

the ant stops moving and its body dips below the surface
the water is still but move it gently and it glows something magical even safe under shade trees and the honeysuckle bush and who knows why
the sun is everywhere in the water

look down

five feet past your illuminated toes the bottom lies in wait

in a dream an octopus lived there reaching out to touch the sun peaked ripples it did not know it caused

in reality there is nothing at the bottom of the pool

the only one reaching out is the ant, and he cannot see anymore
im not sure why i liked this one
i actually did think an octopus lived in my grandma's pool when i was little

Holy crap, this is amazing! 
Sometimes I think I'm a good writer. 
And then I read something like this.
