The Diver *

Foto

Standing high above us all. At the edge of the diving board. Smiling and waving. Before letting himself fall. The faintest splash as the water engulfed him.

It was beautiful to watch. So beautiful to watch.

He was probably the world's best diver. Probably the world's best diver. He was problably the world's best diver. Probably.

Touching the bottom. He pushed away with both legs. And cut through the surface like a fish. The faintest splash as the water released him.

It was beautiful to watch. So beautiful to watch.

He was probably the world's best driver. Probably the world's best diver. He was probably the world's best diver. Probably the world's best driver.

But he could not swim.

It was beautiful to watch. So beautiful to watch.
