it's hard to see the flags sometimes.
they wave ever so slowly,
blend with the smooth sand.
the red faded long, long ago.
nobody can see them but me
as I sink further and further
Into the ocean.
my head goes under.
the water enters my nose
slowly, slowly reaching my lungs.
my breath forms little bubbles; they barely reach the surface.
help me, help me.
i've sunk.
