"Back where I live, we have the oldest city-pool in the history of forever. And I'm like, 'I'm not getting in that pool, there's a ring around it!'"
-Conversation with a friend
My friend was talking about how he can't stand city pools because it's filled with the dirt and germs of strangers all swimming together at once. The 'ring' of course refers to the dirt-ring found around a tub after taking a bath. I think in a poem it could be used to reference that, or some other ideal of history, age, demographics, gender, society, etc. Tying that back in to the pool somehow would be an interesting foundation for a poem.
