We dont have to drown, we can float and pole our rafts around the reef. But, god, the water is that blue that kills you with a longing thirst for anything, even salt and dry bread, and you know secretly that there is no dryness to it, no matter how much you hope that there might be, to save you from your own melting, to save me from mine. Look, the sea is another world. Its not like here. The rules of gravity have exploded, beneath the blanket of surface tension that wraps itself around the world we are floating on. I could not write another version of this ocean, I just think we have got to dive into it, because while I could live, here, on this tension, and never touch the perfect secrets of sea horses and octopi, why why why, and what would life be worth, without this exploration? Look, I am going to do this. I am not afraid of anything at all. _______________________________________________ Five7Five mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/five7five
