I had been employed to clean swimming pools
It was a very relaxed occupation
I used a large net to remove the organic debris
And then would dispose of the sacks elsewhere
Usually I was on my own but occasionally
The owners and their guests stayed in the pool area
It did not matter to me as I was just the pool boy
About a month ago I met a famous French actress
Who asked me to read Victor Hugo to her as she swam in her pool
We spent the afternoon together just chatting and swimming
She asked me to read part of a script that she had been sent
But this ended when her husband returned with his sister
It was an afternoon unlike other afternoons
And I knew it would not be easily forgotten
