yesterday morning i walked on the beach
and saw a woman in a turquoise bikini
dive into the ocean
nobody was around
she dove in and walked out
i walked up to her
and since she was the first person i had talked to that day
all i could muster out was "hey, i think you're really cool for doing that."
she looked questioningly at me as she shammied off her body
that from a distance looked so white, so disgustingly white
but up close had orange freckles all over it
she didn't look white at all
in fact, i wouldn't be surprised if one day all those freckles were to meet up and become one giant freckle
but she looked at me and i felt like "oh no, i need help communicating my thoughts. she thinks i'm strange and she doesn't know what i'm talking about." so i said, "it's really cool that you dove in there to break the ice... a sort of changing of the seasons." then she said, "yeah, i dove in once in february but i missed march." and then i said, "well, i think you're really cool for doing that." and then i kept walking and i was thinking what an awesome way to start a clean slate. to just wake up one morning and say, "i'm gonna go dive in the ocean and let the salt water wash over me and somehow when i come out things will be a bit different." i like that idea. in my city we have about 7 lakes. i used to wake up and run down to one of them, run around it, drip with sweat, jump in, and then run home. that was such an awesome feeling.
