You’re inescapable here<\/div>\n
water comes and goes <\/div>\n
hisses like fat<\/div>\n
you run straight through it<\/div>\n
(mostly ahead)<\/div>\n
watching your toes <\/div>\n
or the grains of sand that fall between<\/div>\n

your controlled panic<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

(I also have a thing for skimmers and blue jays. And all manner of ducks.)<\/p>\n
