the water's fine

a foot into the ocean
gives you chills, you wonder
how anyone can
be out there swimming.
the other foot goes in,
then you're up to your knees,
your waist.
a wave crashes against
your chest,
finally, you give it up,
and dive in.
in time, when the cold
subsides, you wave to shore
and yell for her
to come on in, the water's
fine. but she's says no.
