I love the water, but I am not a fish.
From high above, I study the water.
And watch the fish.
A spirited surge of spray collapses to foam, covers the shore, returns to sea. Strands of seaweed languish at daybreak.
Just below the clear surface, fish dart and flit and flash silver to the sky.
Breakfast.
I love the water, but I am not a fish.

But it’s fun to pretend to be one when swimming through the water.
