it's clear
jack has seized his shirt and raincoats
his purple boots and wind-chimes
he's leaving comfort
leaving love
leaving friends
and leaving all that is known
the bottom of the pool is green
the bottom of the pool makes the water green
jack is diving in(to) the green water
headfirst,
eyes closed,
glancing back upside-down,
everyones face is long upside-down
and gravity pulls jack down
the strangest odds god has ever seen
god looks up from his TV-screen
jack missed all the water
the molecules planned this vacation
ants crawl all over jacks eyes
some fingernails need to know their fate, if they are nibbled off in the night, they will die in vain
