Drowning



Training to be a lifeguard. Aspiring to Navy-Seal prowess. But he’s such a tender slender string bean! All bone, muscle and skin. A clinging octogenarian granny could pull him down.

I worry.

They say drowning is a good way to go. No wish to find out but I guess it’d be OK once you stopped struggling and inhaled the sea water or pool water or river water.

You’d open your eyes to a luminous liquid world. Filtered sunlight, bubbles and blue blue blue. 

A quiet – very quiet – sandy bottom to sit upon.
