The Deep End Has Been Left in the Way

The lifeguard chair has kept its height and lost every reason for it. A ladder is dragged flat across the deck, the lane reel chokes on its own floats, and the bin hangs mouth-first from the whole bad arrangement. Nothing is repaired. Orange straps and ugly clamps keep the force visible while the drained pool waits behind it like missing ground. The deep end has not disappeared. It has been bolted into your route.
