Water Wings

My mistakes live longer than honest apologies. Poor qualities seem to over shadow strengths, making the memories of them weakness. Numbers exist as a measure of time, not always as achievement. Proven facts and blunt decisions are reviewed over, and over again. Desires sink, while questions float...

Water wings are recommended for the sinkers, while swimming is not always something that can be done for more than a few hours, days, weeks, months, or years..

I was never a good swimmer. In fact, I was one of those kids who thought that I was clever to wade in the shallow end (taking full advantage of near weightlessness) while walking on my hands, giving the appearance that I could actually swim. As I would approach the deep end, hands would turn into 4 fingers, and force me to hold my head above water. When 4 became 2, I would turn around.

That was when I was a kid.

Now as an adult (by measure of time) I am forced to swim. My number does not allow the luxurious calm and warm waters of a pool. Decisions pull like an oceans current, and the current time is real. It pulls you where it will, even under if your not strong.

Although I sometimes think I'm fit to back stroke the marathon, my goal remains to keep my head above water.

Otherwise...

I can only hope to find a size that fits.
