Giggle Then Gurgle

Today, it's a warm splash in a rubber pool bright bobbing toys-smiling, A giggle with every splash... to soon it'll be the open ocean silver things darting just beneath the feet a gasp with every splash and every flash off teeth. A journey all must take they call it growth- Out from the shadow of comfort zones... reaching for unreachable goals. family-blood-security, be damned. One could get lost in the froth fighting off gulls waiting to steal your French fry refrain. It's all about survival ignoring stings the shell games dolphin man jumping through golden rings salt smiling. Someday you'll make it back home back through the backstabbing breakers but home is nothing like you remembered it to be.
