Pummeled
Posted by bopuc at June 9, 2006 01:06 AM
For as long as I can remember now--memory fails when the brain is deprived of oxygen--I've been stuck in an unrelenting onslaught of waves.
Each set is unaware of the sets before it, the sets coming in from other directions. Many directions. All directions.
Each set thinks "gee, what's his problem? this is just a simple set of waves, nothing serious", but they don't realize I am being pummeled from all four.
Each set thinks "gee, his being in Japan is really slowing him down. He must be slacking off."
But I am treading water, badly. I am drowning, almost.
I have half a mind to stand up and walk back to the beach. To hell with this surf.
(Of course I won't. Just saying.)
