Being a fish
I'd probably be a much better
Swimmer
But being a fish
I'd probably get speared in the head
By my friend Will
He's so good at catching fish

So instead of becoming a fish
I'll just practice my swimming

Jumping in without knowing what's below
Numbing my body like a waist-high snow
Soaking up the sunlight through your skin
Charge forward without knowing which way to go
Barrel headfirst toward the ocean floor
