i dip a toe
in the tip of the ocean
carbonated sea water
bubbles around piggies.
i watch the waves
crash into its cousin
and imagine
myself gliding in the spiral.
a voice
of reason tells me
i must first learn to swim.
the child responds
as a child would respond
and i agree with the child.
feet first in the deep end.
that's how i roll
and now
i must take my own advise.
