braved every gust of wind, sleet, snow, and ice
only to face water in its chlorinated form.braver than the regulars
braver than the swim team
This man
is the reason I had to leave my bed
with only five hours of sleep
and trek through a foot of snow
to watch him thrash through water.
But.
I won't regret it
if
he does it for a woman.
So maybe you should write and illustrate poetry and children's books.
