I woke up early and
Tried to join some surfer friends
Not to surf but to
Swim the water cold
I wore a wet suit
For the first time
They were eager
The waves were waves
But small and they
Wanted maybe to
See if they looked
Bigger closer up
I was left on the
Beach and felt funny
In my suit
It was made for a man
And had been on a
Man, maybe manyman’s
Bodies before and I
Not being one
Had funny bulges
Here and there
I got in the water
And was hit by
a few waves
being so long away
from the wave experience
Nervous in my thinness
Not know whether
To go under or over
I let a couple hit me
In the face
In the nose
In my everywhere
Salty
I went under
Scared
I went under
Silly
Under
You have to take pride
in what you do
Early in the morning
Retreat, I did
From the water
I ran to find it

But I didn’t stretch first
And pulled two muscles
In my
Oh my
I woke up early and tried to join some
