First jump in it.
Hold your breath.
Let it fill inside you.
Sway your arms back and forth.
Dig your fingers into it.
Catch your breath.

Twirl your body and
flip through it.
Glide through it gently.
Rub the cold water
all over yourself.
Bury your face in it.
Roll around in it.
Lose control.
Listen to the waves, then listen,
listen to the rhthm of the waves play like a symphany.
