Water
I was five and
Jumped into a pool with french fries
In my mouth to grab a ball that had fallen in.
Remembering suddenly
That I could not swim
But it was too late and
Sank to the bottom,
Like a fucking rock.
Stayed there for hours,
But eventually was dragged up onto
Land where I choked up chlorinated water
And somehow still viciously chewed on those now very soggy fries.
